DIRECT. Castex I: the names of twenty ministers expected during the day

The essential :

• The names and portfolios of some 20 ministers and deputy ministers are expected to be announced on Monday. "A government of mission and assembly," wrote the President of the Republic on Twitter.
• Jean-Michel Blanquer, Gérald Darmanin, Bruno Le Maire and Olivier Véran are, according to information from the Parisian, guaranteed to stay.
• The Secretaries of State should be announced in a few days.

Follow the progress of this highly political Monday:

10:30 a.m. Suspense, suspense. To believe the entourage of the president, who distills here and there small messages, the new government will count "surprises", "new talents" and "personalities from different backgrounds".

10:15 am. The High Authority's filter for transparency in public life. This has been a prerequisite since 2013: before being appointed ministers, the immigrants have to transmit their declaration of assets and the charges that may create conflicts of interest to the HATVP, which scrutinizes them. "99% of people checked today are in good standing in relation to the provisions of the laws on the transparency of public life," Jean-Louis Nadal, its president, explained to the Parisian in December. The magistrate has since given way to Didier Migaud, former boss of the Court of Accounts.

10 hours. What is a minister? A minister is a political figure most of the time, sometimes not - it is said then that he is “from civil society” responsible for applying government guidelines to the portfolio for which he is responsible.

9.50 a.m. Rabault confirms that he said "no". The president of the PS group at the Assembly, Valérie Rabault, confirmed on Radio J that she had been approached. "The answer is no," because "poaching is not a policy," she said. And to warn that if socialists entered the government, "they would register outside the party".

9:40 a.m. Before. Edouard Philippe's last government included 19 ministers, including three deputy ministers, and 17 secretaries of state. The very first government appointed after the presidential election was represented by 18 ministers and 4 secretaries of state.

9:30 a.m. Yes, Royal has been called. Sunday at noon, claiming to have been "called" under the new government, Ségolène Royal was the laughingstock of social networks. The former presidential candidate was indeed called "by someone close to the president", but not by the Elysée Palace as her answer suggested. It was Jean-Yves Le Drian, who is unknown whether he will be taken back to the Quai d'Orsay, who discussed with her the current political situation.

9.20am. What about Castaner? His fate is uncertain. The Minister of the Interior, pillar of the macronie since its foundation, seems weakened. Many police have demonstrated in recent weeks, feeling disowned by their minister. Yesterday evening, while Jean Castex was going to the La Courneuve police station, the independent union of police commissioners (SICP) said "wait to know who will direct the Place Beauvau because the sites are numerous".

Now we expect strong measures!
The discomfort is deep in #Police!
We are waiting to know who will direct @Place_Beauvau, because there are many projects.
Tomorrow, we will speak at 7:30 on @ CNEWS. #Ministerial reshuffle #JeanCastex #JeSoutiensLaPolice https://t.co/mNOa2qgZ2S

9:10 a.m. According to our information. Jean-Michel Blanquer, Gérald Darmanin and Olivier Véran would remain in government, as would Bruno Le Maire. Nicole Belloubet would not stay at justice.

9 hours. Deputies and senators in Matignon. The new Prime Minister Jean Castex will receive this Monday evening the LREM parliamentarians. He not only wants to animate the majority but also involve parliamentarians in the work of government.

8:55 a.m. An interview on July 14? He had abolished this tradition when he arrived at the Elysée. Emmanuel Macron should speak on July 14, and the format should be a television interview.

8:50 a.m. EELV worried about ecology in government. "146 measures were proposed by the climate convention, the president said that he was going to implement them, I did not understand that it was going to be the priority, once again", deplores, on France Info, Julien Bayou, national secretary of EELV.

8:47 a.m. When will there be a real decentralization policy? Clearly, after businesses, security, delinquency, military service, the regions, Guillaume Peltier continues to run his program on RMC and BFMTV.

8:40 a.m. Peltier's inventory. "I wish Jean Castex good luck but I ask him to put essential subjects on the table now: the increase in wages, the reduction in charges for small businesses, the expulsion of foreign S files, the internment of French files, the closing of the Salafist mosques ”, enumerates, raising the tone, the LR Guillaume Peltier on RMC and BFMTV.

8:35 a.m. Shepherd waiting. "Neither in distrust nor in confidence, I am waiting to see what will happen," sums up Laurent Berger, n ° 1 of the CFDT.

8:30 am. Berger and Castex. "I do not know much about the character, he was in national responsibilities when I was not yet at the head of the CFDT", explains about the new Prime Minister Laurent Berger, on LCI.

8:20 a.m. A general policy speech after July 14. Friday evening on TF 1, he said he wanted to deliver his induction speech before Parliament in the middle of the week. Finally, Jean Castex should make his general policy speech after July 14.

8:10 a.m. A mission team. On Twitter, Sunday, in three tweets, the President of the Republic promised "a government of mission and assembly", responsible for the "reconstruction of our country". For what policy? The “at the same time” resurfaces: a new path adapted to the “upheavals and crises that we are experiencing”, but in agreement with “the project I carried out in 2017”.

This reconstruction will be implemented by a mission and rally government.

8 hours. Surprises on the menu? This is in any case what promises very close support from Emmanuel Macron in this casting of the Castex I government. Indiscretions to read here.

7.45 a.m. Hello and welcome to this live. After Friday, day of resignation, appointment, transfer of powers to Matignon, the logical consequence of the arrival of Jean Castex is a new government. The essentials - the ministers - should be announced on Monday.
