The composite portrait of the future tenant of Matignon is emerging. During the presidential campaign, Emmanuel Macron had already announced that he would be directly in charge of “ecological planning”. This Wednesday on a Cergy market, the re-elected president clarified that Jean Castex’s replacement would be “attached to the social question, the environmental question and the productive question”.
“I believe in going beyond, political color does not say everything,” he also said, in response to a question from a journalist about the possibility of seeing a left-wing personality named. “Jean Castex came from the right; he carried out one of the most social policies of the last decades, because he is also a man of heart and he has social fiber,” added the Head of State.
Speculation is rife about the identity of the future or future tenant of Matignon. Emmanuel Macron intends to replace Jean Castex while renewing his government very largely, less than seven weeks from the first round of the legislative elections of June 12 and 19. Asked about her availability, Ségolène Royal replied that a position at Matignon “never refuses”.
