a last Council of Ministers looking like a “starting drink”

Four days after the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, a Council of Ministers is being held on Thursday April 28 in the morning. This could well be the last before the resignation of the Castex government. “There will, for sure, be a very special atmosphere at noon, later, in the village hall of the Élysée, with the turn of the President of the Republic, all the ministers and secretaries of State. They will be 40, it’s very rare. Usually, there are only important ministers”explains journalist Jean-Baptiste Marteau, on the set of the 8 Hours of France 2.

“Atmosphere a little bit ‘end of five-year drink’, almost ‘starting drink’ since in the process, Jean Castex should, logically, submit the resignation of his government”, notes Jean-Baptiste Marteau again. What about the next prime minister? Difficult for the moment to have a precise name. One thing is certain, he or she will have to send signals to the electorate 45 days before the legislative elections.
