At 63, Bruno Retailleau is now at the head of the strategic Ministry of the Interior. He succeeds Gérald Darmanin. After having made the applause last for his predecessor, this Monday, September 23 in Beauvau, he displayed his priorities: restore order and defend the police.For you, I will not give up anything, I will never give in. I will not let go and I will not tolerate any offense.” he said.
In the Barnier government, he embodies the traditional and conservative right, opposed to marriage for all and the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution. Former right-hand man of Philippe de Villiers in Vendée, then unwavering supporter of François Fillon in 2017, Bruno Retailleau advocates ultra-firmness on immigration. In his Vendée stronghold, in Saint-Malô-du-Bois, his personality is appreciated, even if his ideas are not always shared.
