In the end, it was not the last Council of Ministers of this government.
His spokesperson Gabriel Attal said this Thursday, April 28 that the current team would meet next week before the formation of a new government for Emmanuel Macron's second five-year term, with very uncertain outlines.
His remarks were sometimes allusive, so that it is still difficult to navigate.
What schedule can we expect?

I did not tell you that it was the last Council of Ministers
", eludes Gabriel Attal
It was not from the last Council of Ministers
It was not, this Thursday, "
the last Council of Ministers, nor obviously the 1st five-year term of Emmanuel Macron which ends, I remind you, on May 14, nor of this government
", declared Gabriel Attal to the outcome of the meeting at the Élysée.
The current government is "
at its task to continue to take the necessary decisions
", he added, citing in particular aid for purchasing power in the face of inflation, the situation in Ukraine and the Council of Ministers of the extraordinary European energy on Monday, "in
which Barbara Pompili will obviously participate
", the Minister for the Ecological Transition.
An “investiture ceremony on May 8”
Another question, that of the investiture of the President of the Republic, who will be renewed in office.
Emmanuel Macron's entourage now evokes an "
investiture ceremony on May 8
", which will mark the start of the second five-year term.
According to this source, the beginning of the week was “
devoted to preparing for the legislative elections
”.
And the next government?
Now, "
Emmanuel Macron will take care of the government
" next.
And he could wait to announce it as close as possible to the legislative elections of June 12 and 19, “
because that is what will give the dynamic
”, with the hope of obtaining a solid majority.
These hours of transition turn into “
Chinese torture for everyone
”, says a minister.
Who warns: “
Emmanuel Macron will take his time.
But isn't it a bit pointless to talk about it?
".
A prime minister directly responsible for “ecological planning”
Marmorean about his intentions, the head of state has fun disseminating small pebbles on the profile of Jean Castex's successor at Matignon, after having already said that the prime minister would be directly responsible for "
ecological planning
".
“
But I don't have the feeling that he has made his choice
,” whispers a minister.

On Wednesday, during a surprise visit to a market in Cergy (Val-d'Oise), the president assured that the next head of government should be "
attached to the social question, to the environmental question, to the productive question
" .
“
I believe in overtaking, political color does not say everything
”, he also underlined, as if to better blur the tracks after a clear inflection to the left during his campaign between the two rounds.
A strong renewal in government
The nature of the political and media ecosystem abhors a vacuum, so the game of speculation has been running at full speed in recent days, with everyone turning into a more or less well-intentioned HRD.
The name of the current Minister of Labor Élisabeth Borne therefore comes up regularly, in the same way as that of the Minister of Agriculture Julien Denormandie, even of the MEP Pascal Canfin, president of the environment committee, who however himself swept aside the idea on
franceinfo
.
A few local elected officials are also pushed into the press, such as the LR president of the Pays de Loire region Christelle Morançais or the former LR minister Catherine Vautrin.

Several sources within the executive predict a strong renewal: “
I am not sure that there are many survivors
”, thus advances a minister.
Bruno Le Maire, Gérald Darmanin, Olivier Véran, Olivier Dussopt, Gabriel Attal, Sébastien Lecornu or even Amélie de Montchalin seem to be on the mend.
But what about Jean-Michel Blanquer, Florence Parly, Éric Dupond-Moretti or even Marlène Schiappa?
