Emmanuel Macron faced with “tons of refusal”

A real headache. During the first reshuffle, having taken place just before the legislative elections, Emmanuel Macron had taken his time before announcing his choice as to the next occupant of Matignon. If he refused on June 21 the resignation of the prime ministerÉlisabeth Borne, it seems that there is still a long way to go before knowing the composition of the new government, which is supposed to be revealed in the coming days.

The ministers “are paralyzed”, entrusted a government adviser to the Parisian. Faced with the absence of an absolute majority in the National Assembly, it would seem that the atmosphere is tense among the ministers in place. However, according to this adviser, some would be almost certain to remain in their post, such as Bruno Le Maire, Gérald Darmanin, Catherine Colonna, Éric Dupond-Moretti, Sébastien Lecornu, details the daily. A person close to power revealed that the President of the Republic would have been confronted with “a ton of rejection” during the previous revisions.

The constraints of the ministerial reshuffle

“People who want to become ministers, there are dozens of them, explains this close to Parisian. But people who are experienced and ready to go before the High Authority for the transparency of public life, it is more difficult. Indeed, for each new member of the government, his declarations of interests and assets are made public on the website of the High Authority. A mandatory passage that would deter many. In addition to these refusals, and the reasons behind them, the choice of ministers is made difficult by the results of the legislative elections. Indeed, some ministers in office lost in the constituencies in which they were candidates. Moreover, faced with the absence of an absolute majority, it is important to find the right political balance.
