Reshuffle: “We take the necessary time”, procrastinate Emmanuel Macron and Élisabeth Borne

2022-05-19T15:09:16.423Z


The President of the Republic and the Prime Minister both hinted, this Thursday, that the government casting was not yet complete.


Il faudra patienter encore un peu. Quarante-huit heures après la nomination d'Élisabeth Borne à Matignon, en remplacement du démissionnaire Jean Castex, l'annonce du casting gouvernemental ne semble pas imminente. «

On prend le temps nécessaire, parce qu'on veut la meilleure équipe pour mettre en œuvre le projet du président de la République

», a balayé la première ministre, en marge de son déplacement dans les Mureaux (Yvelines) ce jeudi après-midi. «

Nous ne sommes pas sur le perron de l'Élysée, je ne suis pas le secrétaire général de l'Élysée, donc je ne vais pas vous annoncer la composition du gouvernement

», a-t-elle conclu.

A statement taken up a few minutes later - and almost word for word - by Emmanuel Macron, who was speaking from the courtyard of the Palace, during a joint press conference with his Moldovan counterpart.

The work continues, in a serious way.

It's not a light thing.

It requires time, substantive exchanges... And that's what the Prime Minister and I are doing.

So as much time as useful, as necessary, because it is about the government of France

”, dodged the Head of State, before going to speak with his guest of the day for a working meeting devoted to the war in Ukraine.

For the time being, the Council of Ministers, initially scheduled for Wednesday, has been postponed indefinitely by the executive.

The meeting - the convening of which is not constitutionally obligatory, and whose weekly nature is simply a matter of tradition outside the holiday period - could be held on Friday.

Its schedule and format have not yet been communicated, however, and for good reason: the meeting could take place with the new government cast, if it is completed by then;

or with the outgoing team, which remains in charge of “

routine business

” until its successors are known.
