Personalities named in the government “are not the partridges of the year“, according to him. The deputy describes “political experience, knowledge of the files, a strong personality“. It is for him to”a strengthening of the government to the detriment of personalities who had accepted to be ministers believing that it was going to happen very easily, and who did not manage to do what they could have wished to do“.

This reshuffling makes him say that there is “a drunk side boat somehow“, “this desire to set a course with the primary objective of the President of the Republic to strengthen the executive power“. Emmanuel Macron will, according to him, “look within the National Assembly for personalities like Aurore Bergé, like Thomas Cazenave who is a finance specialist, like Philippe Vigier who has a very strong personality, like Fadila Khattabi. He takes in this breeding ground at the risk of weakening the majority in the National Assembly. But as the executive swallows the legislative power, it corresponds to a very strong political orientation of the President of the Republic“.
