“Additional investigation” paints the portrait of Alexis Kohler, “the most powerful Secretary General of the Elysée Palace of the Fifth Republic”

He is an essential character of the Republic, and yet the general public hardly knows him. He barely remembers his speeches on the steps of the Elysée in 2017 and 2022 to announce the composition of the government. Normal: Alexis Kohler is a very discreet man, he almost never gives interviews, while his role and his influence with Emmanuel Macron are immense.

So much so that it is rare to be able to talk to the president without the presence of the Secretary General of the Elysée.

Through testimonials, Further investigation sought to find out who Alexis Kohler is, how he became the “twin” of Emmanuel Macron and what is his real power. The magazine also reveals new elements in the MSC affair for which Alexis Kohler is indicted for illegal taking of interest.

Thomas Lelong, the author of the survey broadcast by France 2, is the media guest of Célyne Baÿt-Darcourt.
