Reshuffle: how Emmanuel Macron undressed the LR?
Reshuffle: how Emmanuel Macron undressed the LR? – (France info)
The new government, unveiled Thursday January 11, clearly leans to the right, notably with the appointment of Rachida Dati to Culture. For several years, Emmanuel Macron has regularly drawn from the LR, which is gradually undressing the party.
This is the surprise of this government and it is very symbolic: Rachida Dati is appointed Minister of Culture. At 58, this is his second ministerial post. This close friend of Nicolas Sarkozy had already been Keeper of the Seals between 2007 and 2009. A figure of the Parisian right, mayor of the 7th arrondissement, Rachida Dati was excluded, on the evening of Thursday, November 11, from the Republicans upon the announcement of her appointment . “I regret his choice and naturally, we draw the consequences today”declared Éric Ciotti, president of the Republicans.
Several relatives of Édouard Philippe
Another shot on the right: Catherine Vautrin, new Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity. In 2022, she was already expected to take part in Matignon before being beaten by Élisabeth Borne. She was a member of the Republicans before joining Horizons, the party of Édouard Philippe. The latter is the first on the right to have joined Emmanuel Macron in May 2017. He had appointed Bruno Le Maire to the Economy, a member of his political family, as well as Gérald Darmanin to Action and Public Accounts.
