While rumors are circulating about a possible reshuffle, Benjamin Morel, political scientist, is the guest of 19/20, Friday.
“You have to be extremely careful”begins Benjamin Morel, political scientist invited to franceinfo on Friday January 5, about the possibility of a ministerial reshuffle. “Emmanuel Macron likes to be the master of the clocks, the more he feels the mayonnaise rising, the less quickly he acts”, he explains. He says, however, that a reshuffle is “likely” and that it could happen “relatively quickly.” “There is a desire toaccelerate to quickly turn the page on 2023, which was complicated for Emmanuel Macron”he adds.
A change at Matignon?
“Does this mean a limited government reshuffle, which will inevitably take place, or will we have a broader reshuffle, including a change at Matignon? That’s the question and that’s what seems to be emerging.” If there were to be a change at Matignon, “according to commentators, it must see that the major problem of this five-year term is a problem linked to the absence of a parliamentary majority.(…) We therefore need a Prime Minister who is capable of holding on, of seeking a parliamentary majority.”he adds, evoking “a fairly political, fairly parliamentary profile.”
