A small turn and then goes away.
Olivia Grégoire left her very exposed post as government spokesperson on Monday to find Bercy, as part of the reshuffle announced by the Élysée.
A Macronist from the start, she was appointed Minister Delegate in charge of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), Trade, Crafts and Tourism.
Although less political, the minister's entourage is pleased to have obtained this wide ministerial perimeter, to be exercised under the supervision of Bruno Le Maire.

Olivia Grégoire also knows Bercy very well, having held her first ministerial position there (Social and Solidarity and Responsible Economy) between 2020 and last May.
Six weeks after being appointed spokesperson, she left a sensitive function in favor of Olivier Véran.
Already on the front line during the health crisis, he is considered more experienced and equipped to communicate in a crisis situation.
