After the investiture ceremony, speculation as to the choice of Emmanuel Macron on his new Prime Minister resumes.
It has been almost two weeks since Emmanuel Macron was re-elected President of the Republic and, against all odds, Jean Castex is still installed at the Hôtel Matignon. The transition should even last longer. At least until May 13, date from which we should know, according to the spokesperson, the name of the new Prime Minister. So why is Macron taking his time?
1. The president likes to take his time. He loves to procrastinate, to dawdle and, in the end, to make us linger. Didn’t he take a month to replace Gérard Collomb at the Ministry of the Interior in 2018? More seriously, he knows that the choice of his new Prime Minister will be the first political act of his second term. The one who will also be responsible for leading the legislative battle. Macron has promised to leave more room for his head of government.
2. Rather a woman, a little left, a little green, able to implement the pension reform. In short, it is indeed a “five-legged sheep” that the Head of State is looking for. Rarely, he would also have suffered refusals from Véronique Bedague, a techno ex-director of cabinet of Manuel Valls, and Valérie Rabault, PS deputy and president of the group in the Assembly…. Many names, more or less serious, circulate but the most certain is undoubtedly the chef’s surprise…
3. Macron is also involved in politics and therefore lets the “brothel” on the left “infuse” with the chaotic establishment of the new union of the left, Mélenchon’s version, and the “brothel” on the right with Republicans about to be rolled. The April winner still wants to take advantage of the useful vote in June. Republicans about to be rolled. The April winner still wants to take advantage of the useful vote in June.
