the maintenance of Alexis Kholer and Éric Dupond-Moretti arouses misunderstanding

Tuesday, October 4, the day after his indictment, the Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti is back on the ground and affirms that his resignation “not on the agenda”. For Marine Le Pen, the president of the RN group in the National Assembly, this suspicion which weighs on the Keeper of the Seals does not allow him to remain in his post. For his part, Alexis Kholer, secretary general of the Élysée since 2017, is indicted for illegal taking of interests and is also still in office.

Right and left oppositions do not understand Emmanuel Macron’s support. “I remember a time when the current head of state said that a minister or an indicted collaborator should resign”, says Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party. During the first five-year term, François Bayrou, Richard Ferrand or Laure Flessel had resigned.
