He should "shut up". For example, Jean-Louis Georgelin, President of Emmanuel Macron, was in charge of the chief architect, Philippe Villeneuve, who was responsible for the reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral, destroyed in a fire.
The architect advocates a historical reconstruction of the ruined pinnacle, but President Macron wants a "creative reconstruction" in a modern form. In conversation is about a glass tower.
The five-star General Georgelin was indignant at a hearing by a parliamentary committee on the repeated plea by chief architect Villeneuve for a historic solution. According to his own account, the 71-year-old general, whom Macron had ordered after the fire on April 15, surprisingly, with the reconstruction, his opponent's mouth shut.
The question of the pinnacle is only in early 2021, said Georgelin. "We will then make the best choice for Notre-Dame, for Paris and the world," said the General, who was chief of staff of the French army from 2006 to 2010.
