Rachida Dati is having a busy start to 2024! The one who dreams of being at the head of Paris town hall in 2026 to beat her eternal rival Anne Hidalgo has just agreed to become the new Minister of Culture under the Attal government. A surprising turnaround, a few months after having clashed somewhat with her new boss on the set of Gilles Bouleau’s 8 p.m. on the sidelines of the legislative elections, and even though she is a historic figure of the Republicans. A party of which she is no longer partas its president, Éric Ciotti, said on X: “Rachida Dati made the choice to enter the Government. She places herself outside our political family. She is no longer part of the Republicans. We are in the opposition, so we draw the consequences of her choice with regret. “
Rachida Dati does not let this get her down. The new Minister of Culture don’t forget that she remains mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris, and does not intend to move away from its municipal priorities. On year, and she is not a little proud: “Very happy to have celebrated my first wedding of 2024 this morning at the town hall of the 7th arrondissement of Paris! Congratulations to the newlyweds” congratulated the elected official, before recalling that although new minister, she wishes to honor her commitment to the inhabitants of Paris 7.
Will Rachida Dati get along with Delphine Ernotte and Sibyle Veil?
As head of the Ministry of Culture, Rachida Dati has a lot to do and is expected at the turn by many leaders, notably Delphine Ernotte, CEO of France Télévisions, and Sibyle Veil, CEO of Radio France. The two women seemed very moved by the departure of Rima Abdul-Malak this Friday during the transfer of power, and did not hesitate to embrace her warmly. The working methods of his predecessor were highly appreciated by public service executives, but hated by many private executives, such as Vincent Bolloré and Cyril Hanouna, which she did not hesitate to sharply point out in several of her interviews. The departing minister is paying a high price for her last speech, which was very poorly received by Emmanuel Macron, who did not accept that his minister publicly paid Gérard Depardieu, without respecting his presumption of innocence.
