The Secretary of State for the Social, Solidarity and Responsible Economy has just given birth to a little Romy. She will return to Bercy in February
This is the Castex government’s first baby. Romy, 47 centimeters, 2.6 kilos, was born on December 12 at the Parisian Necker hospital and is doing very well. Her mother, Olivia Grégoire, 43, Secretary of State, is slowly recovering from her first childbirth. The news delighted the government team. The head of government was the first to phone his minister. Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron sent their congratulatory messages.
Olivia Grégoire, on the other hand, decided to take advantage of her maternity leave before resuming her activities. “I’m not necessarily aiming for the Superwoman diploma!” I am committed to being a woman, a mother and a politician at the same time. I will not do like some women in politics who returned almost the day after giving birth. I am breastfeeding Romy. Her dad took his paternity leave until mid-January, and I will return to the ministry in February ”, she confides to Paris Match in an allusion to Rachida Dati, returned to her ministry five days after giving birth. . The Secretary of State, however, remains connected every day with her team from Bercy. “I telework, I follow all my files very closely with my office. This baby is a little miracle and he needs his mom. It is the fruit of three years of struggle and hope. I wanted more than anything to have this child. And I also dreamed of being a minister to serve our country. In the end, the two arrived at the same time, ”she adds.
“
At Bercy, we are obsessed with protecting the French
“
Former LREM deputy from Paris, the minister of Jean Castex observes the political climate with concern: “We have been governing under pressure from the Covid for almost two years. Health news occupies 40% to 50% of the speeches of the President of the Republic since I have been minister. At Bercy, we are obsessed with protecting the French. This is our compass with Bruno Le Maire. We haven’t been distracted for eighteen months. “This walker from the right (she was a member of Xavier Bertrand’s cabinet) tackles the opposition:” The political climate is deleterious. During the campaign, everything will be controversial, I have no doubts about that. The oppositions make us tap dance numbers on the TV sets, oscillating between opportunism and cynicism. But when it comes time to take stock, I am convinced that the French will welcome the management of this health crisis at all levels by the President and the Prime Minister. They will be grateful to Emmanuel Macron for having, for example, maintained their salary with partial unemployment, and their companies with the loan guaranteed by the State and the solidarity fund. “
On her return, in a month, Olivia Grégoire intends to take her full place in the upcoming presidential campaign. That’s good. Her name and those of Agnès Pannier-Runacher (Industry) and Amélie de Montchalin (Transformation and Public Services) are cited by the Élysée. The elected Parisian has also decided to return to the 12th district of Paris, which she had torn to general surprise from LR Philippe Goujon.
