End of the suspense: as anticipated for several hours, Jean Castex should take the reins of the RATP. The former Prime Minister was chosen by President Emmanuel Macron to become CEO of the Autonomous Paris Transport Authority, and thus succeed Catherine Guillouard.
The High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life had issued a favorable opinion on this proposed appointment on Tuesday, five months after the departure of Jean Castex from Matignon. The decision must be endorsed by the competent parliamentary committees.
