“What matters is that he succeeds, because that will be France’s success,” assures Jean-Michel Blanquer.

Asked on the France 2 morning show about the appointment of Michel Barnier to Matignon, Jean-Michel Blanquer was keen to highlight the qualities of the new resident of Matignon: “I think well of the man, I think he has a very estimable career.” he said, before adding: “I think there were many who could claim this position.“, and to conclude: “What matters is that he succeeds, because that will be France’s success.“.

During the transfer of power, former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal asked Michel Barnier to keep education at the heart of his priorities. For Jean-Michel Blanquer, this initiative is important because according to him: “The countries that are doing well are the countries that invest in education.“. He recalled that certain subjects can be studied to make savings, but that National Education must in no case be neglected.
