Jean Garrigues, historian and political specialist, reacts in the 19/20 info of Thursday January 11 to the announcement by Rachida Dati’s entourage of her appointment to the post of Minister of Culture in the new government of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. “The real problem for the government will be finding majorities in Parliament”, he says, a few minutes before the official announcement of the composition of the government. The historian questions Rachida Dati’s relationship to culture.
It’s not an “ideological” choice.
“I am not sure that the choice of Rachida Dati brings anything to the civic rearmament project”, analyzes Jean Garrigues. For him, the changes made in the government are “cosmetics” and not “significant”. The choice of Rachida Dati appears as “a choice of political strategy”, and not political “in the ideological sense of the term”, believes Jean Garrigues. With the arrival of Rachida Dati, the government is right-wing in its new composition. “It is also a problem with the left wing of the macronie, (…) it could further weaken the government of Gabriel Attal”he concludes.
