Ministerial reshuffle: where are the latest negotiations for the future prime minister? -RTL

Emmanuel Macron is still looking for his rare pearl, even his 5-legged sheep. He said it, he wants a Prime Minister attached to ecological, social and productive issues. But the most complicated thing is to find the name to put in front of this post. In the majority, some plead for Elisabeth Borne, the Minister of Labor, who for a time had the portfolio of Ecology. “The problem is that no one remembers,” squeals a ministerial adviser.

We must ensure parity, political and geographical balances, a mixture of left and right for Emmanuel Macron, of civil society, to add new faces. It’s a real headache. The current ministers are forced to play extra time. But some seem in a hurry to get it over with: Adrien Taquet, the Secretary of State for Children, changed his mind on Friday with this tweet: “After seven years of commitment to Emmanuel Macron, the time comes to devote a little more time to my loved ones and my family”. In short, he does not wait for the resignation of the government to say concerning him, it is finished. The editorial staff recommends Read more
