Tensions are flaring within the French government, particularly between President Emmanuel Macron and Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau. A scheduled meeting between the two, expected to take place on Thursday afternoon, was abruptly postponed, according to sources close to the president, as reported by Politico.

Retailleau, a key figure in the conservative Les Républicains party, has recently intensified his criticism of President Macron, adding strain to their already complex political relationship. Despite the postponement, Retailleau is expected to meet Prime Minister François Bayrou later today to discuss ongoing governmental issues.
