After Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, it was Emmanuel Macron who supported Olivier Dussopt on Wednesday February 8, despite the accusation of “favoritism” retained by the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office against the Minister of Labour. At the opening of the Council of Ministers, the President of the Republic expressed his “full support”reported government spokesman Olivier Véran after the meeting.
In charge of the pension reform project, Olivier Dussopt “was on the bench” ministers Tuesday evening at the National Assembly and will be again on Wednesday, “fully in the exercise of its missions”assured Olivier Véran in front of the journalists.
Following an investigation opened in 2020, the PNF upheld the charge of “favoritism” regarding the award in 2009 of a public contract for the town of Annonay (Ardèche), of which Olivier Dussopt was Mayor, to the Saur water management company. Saturday, on France Inter, the person concerned “disputed” the idea of a “arrangement”. The day before, Matignon had assured that he kept “all the confidence of the Prime Minister”.
