From President of the National Assembly to the world of finance there is only one step.
François de Rugy proves it: the former deputy of Loire-Atlantique, and former figure of the Greens has joined the investment bank Alantra, as revealed
by Le Journal du Dimanche
.
“
I wanted to do something else and act for ecology in the economic field and with companies
”, confides the one who now bears the title of senior advisor.
The former Minister for Ecological Transition is now an investment banker.
"
The three years required for a former minister to exercise a function have passed
", specifies François de Rugy.
Its mission, from now on, will be to develop an “
offer dedicated to entrepreneurs and projects that contribute to sustainable development
”, explains the general manager of Alantra France, Franck Portais.
The investment bank will certainly be able to count on the address book of François de Rugy.
Last March, the one who had rallied to Emmanuel Macron in 2017 announced that he wanted to leave political life, after twenty years of commitment.
After confirming that he did not want to stand in the legislative elections, the former number two in the government said he wanted to "
act in economic life
".
"
I still love politics and I'm not disgusted
by it," he also said.
"
Even if I paid dearly and unfairly for my commitment and the exercise of responsibilities
", he concluded, thus referring to the revelations of Mediapart on his expenses in the National Assembly and within his ministry.
