Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne will have to decide. The Head of State and his Prime Minister, who have not seen each other for a week, are working on the reshuffle of the government. After the battle for the distribution of key positions within the Assembly, the executive wishes to return to the fore.
The reshuffle is expected by early next week, likely Monday or Tuesday. Several positions remain to be allocated: the Ministry of Ecological Transition, since Amélie de Montchalin must leave after her defeat in the legislative elections. Same thing for Brigitte Bourguignon, who must leave the Ministry of Health.
Two positions currently vacant
We also need to find a Minister of the Sea to replace Justine Benin who was not elected as a deputy either. We must find an overseas minister too, since Yaël Braun-Pivet takes the presidency of the Assembly. There may even be other positions to be filled: a Secretary of State for Transport and Housing, two positions currently vacant.
The Damien Abad problem
All this is not simple since it is necessary in parallel that this reorganization leads to a clearer, more solid majority. And then there is also the subject of Damien Abad to deal with. Will the Minister of Solidarity be able to stay in his post while he is under investigation for attempted rape? Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne will have to answer all these questions when they have not seen each other for a week.
They must therefore agree before the very important deadlines of next week. In addition to the reorganization that we have mentioned, there will also be the general policy speech. Elisabeth Borne It will be Wednesday.
