This is the appointment a surprise in the reshuffle of July 2020 : the lawyer media Eric Dupond-Moretti, rather listed to the left, inherits the position of keeper of the Seals to the result of Nicole Belloubet. A man of head-shots, and rants, Eric Dupond-Moretti is known as the “acquitator” in the middle of the justice for the numerous acquittals obtained for its clients. Outreau case Balkany, it is shown in many cases that are reverberating, but also on television, film and on stage when he is tried in the acting profession. A man of controversy (pro-bullfight in particular), he has several times attacked the magistrates, denouncing it as a “Republic of judges”, which caused a stir at the time of his appointment.

During the crisis of the coronavirus, her work as minister of Health in the midst of a crisis of the H1N1 flu, will be rehabilitated, while the massive purchase of vaccines at the time had a controversy.
