a single government reshuffle announced early next week

The government reshuffle is scheduled for early next week, two weeks after the second round of legislative elections, franceinfo learned on Friday July 1 from concordant sources. It will potentially take place on Monday and will be followed by a Council of Ministers in the process, almost three weeks after the last chaired by Emmanuel Macron.

After his long tour abroad, Emmanuel Macron receives his Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, since 6 p.m. Friday evening at the Elysee Palace to prepare the roadmap for the next government. She who consulted all the leaders of parliamentary groups this week in Matignon must offer him names to join his future team.

According to information from franceinfo, this reshuffle will only be done once, while government sources have so far mentioned two different announcements, first to replace the ministers beaten in the legislative elections – Brigitte Bourguignon for Health, Amélie de Montchalin at the Ecological Transition, Justine Benin at the Sea – then to complete the government. Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne are also looking for a successor to Yaël Braun-Pivet in the Overseas Territories, who has just been elected to the presidency of the National Assembly, and potentially to the Minister of Solidarity Damien Abad, targeted by an investigation for attempted rape.

The executive promises once again a government tightened on a total of thirty posts, when they are already 29 today and there are no portfolios for Housing, Transport, Industry, or Digital, or again in craftsmanship.

In addition, the president and his Prime Minister are still hoping for new war prizes in the opposition. After the first Council of Ministers of this new government, which will therefore intervene in the wake of her appointment, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne will work on her general policy statement. His speech to the National Assembly is scheduled for Wednesday at 3 p.m.
