RESHUFFLE – The Prime minister has made it known that he was at the disposal of the president to stay at Matignon, but does not seem to push to stay there… What do we know about the cabinet reshuffle, which is preparing ?
Summary Edouard Philippe Ministers on the departure of the Ministers who remain Emmanuel Macron to the maneuver government Reshuffle List of ministers
This is not the first reshuffle of the era Macron, but this time, it is necessary to expect a change in depth. At the end of the municipal elections, the head of the State will restructure the government team to perform the entry in a new political sequence. After the crisis of the yellow vests, the demonstrations against the pension reform and the health crisis has forced the country to a long confinement, Emmanuel Macron intends to take over, and appear again as the one who sets the tempo. Tempo of the new reforms, the tempo of the highlights and movement, tempo media… To follow it, it will be necessary to lieutenants strong and determined for this act II of the quinquennium, which should bring the president until a new nomination in the presidential election.
According to the confidences of the entourage of the president of the Republic to the political journalists, the announcement of the cabinet reshuffle will take place between end of June and the 14 July. Emmanuel Macron will be a new address to the French to explain it and without doubt indicate whether it intends to appoint a new Prime minister or not.
Edouard Philippe will he remain Prime minister ?
This is the first of the questions posed by the redesign is in the offing. Edouard Philippe, can he keep the keys of the prime minister if the head of the State wants to inject a new impetus ? Is it the best place to embody a new life or a new vision ? It would seem that the Prime minister himself is aware that this kind of exercise naturally implies that either dismissed the head of the government. “If [the president of the Republic] think, after the municipal election, that I must continue my mission at Matignon, I will assume my responsibilities. He knows who I am, what I play, what can I do and what I can’t do that. If he thinks someone else is more useful, I will respect his choice on the basis of fairness”, he said to Paris and Normandy on the 16th of June, hinting that he could very well, given his profile and what he “can’t do”, not to be the man of the situation. Edouard Philippe, a candidate in the municipal elections in his hometown of le Havre, pounds for weeks that he “loves being mayor”. According to The World, he says, sometimes to his interlocutors, that he knows a little bit talkative : “I look forward to seeing the sea”.
all that Remains is Edouard Philippe is currently enjoying a popularity remarkable for a Prime minister and his close relatives suggests that Emmanuel Macron is in their interest to keep it at his side. “The president has need of him. It is reinforced enough to say ‘I take the job or I don’t take it’. If the president loose in the nature of an object policy beginning to take shape, what is it going to be two years of the presidential election ?”, asks a member of the entourage of the Norman with the World.
What are the ministers on leave ?
The machine speculation is already well underway, and the press relays the past few days, rumors about the members of the government that is said about the harness. For the Journal du Dimanche, four ministers of the first plan could be dismissed : the keeper of the Seals, Nicolle Belloubet, the minister of Ecology, Elizabeth Terminal, the minister of Labour, Muriel Pénicaud, and the minister of the Interior, Christophe Castaner. The latter appears increasingly weakened, and could pay his management the criticism of angry protests against the police violence. The same journal ensures that Franck Riester is very weak and it is likely that Sibeth Ndiaye leaves his position as spokesman for new functions.
What are the ministers that are safe to stay ?
Some ministers are figures of indéboulonnables right arm, as Bruno Le Maire, Jean-Yves Le Drian, Jean-Michel Blanquer, or Olivier Véran. It is likely that Emmanuel Macron confirms their position. Gérarld Darmanin and Marlène Schiappa, who recently made it known through the press that they hoped to do even more within the government, could be promoted.
