It had been in the works for some time.
As we wrote on Tuesday, two ministers are leaving the government this Saturday, as the Elysée announced in a press release.
The Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, Jacqueline Gourault, appointed to the Constitutional Council, is replaced by Joel Giraud.
The minister must take up her new duties on March 14, the Secretary of State for Rurality, Joël Giraud, therefore takes over.
Also from the MoDem, Nathalie Elimas, Secretary of State for Priority Education, also leaves office following accusations of "harassment and abuse" within her cabinet.
After a preliminary report a few weeks ago, a new, more detailed report on this affair was submitted to Matignon a few days ago.
