Emmanuel Macron did not keep all his promises

After having waited a long time, the announcement of the new government was made on Friday May 20 by the secretary general of the Élysée, Alexis Kohler. But the least we can say is that there is not much surprising. “We were promised a government that leans to the left, in order to try to seduce a left-wing electorate who does not like Jean-Luc Mélenchon for example, obviously in the perspective of the legislative elections. A way also to counterbalance a first five-year term very marked on the right. Result, of the seven prime ministers in the protocol order, five are rather from the right “underlines Jean-Christophe Galeazzi on the set of 23h of franceinfo.

“We were promised a government with ecology on the shoulder. And there, no great personalities from the world of ecology to embody this project, but two pillars of Macronie. Two women with a profile more of technicians than of political heavyweights. They will have to succeed in imposing themselves, even if Amélie de Montchalin and Agnès Pannier-Runacher have not been unworthy in their previous functions., he continues. The only real surprise, the appointment of Pap Ndiaye to Education. “Emmanuel Macron had promised us a new lease of life and not to mention the Prime Minister, there are 16 from the previous government of Jean Castex, out of the 27 members of government appointed today. Difficult this evening to speak of a new lease of life, we could talk about a form of change in continuity”concludes Jean-Christophe Galeazzi.
