Manuel Valls: A Comeback to France After a Spanish Detour<\/strong>
Meanwhile, Manuel Valls, Prime Minister under Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, officially took office as Minister of Overseas Territories, drawing attention due to his unconventional political journey. After leaving French politics in 2018, Valls pursued a political career in Spain, running for mayor of Barcelona. However, his bid was unsuccessful, as he was defeated by incumbent mayor Ada Colau. Following his political setback in Spain, Valls now returns to France to take on a key ministerial role. The handover ceremony at the H\u00f4tel de Montmorin showcased a politician eager to leave behind past defeats and revive his career in his home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
