Philippe Juvin, mayor Les Républicains of La Garenne-Colombes, head of emergencies at the Georges Pompidou hospital in Paris was the guest of 8:30 a.m. franceinfo of sunday 15 may. The former LR congressional candidate in December 2021 was answering questions from Ersin Leibowitch and Jean-Jérôme Bertolus.
“Candidates are in no hurry to take up positions at Matignon”
“It’s difficult today to do politics“, judges the mayor Les Républicains de La Garenne-Colombes Philippe Juvin, while Emmanuel Macron has still not named his new Prime Minister.Candidates are in no hurry to take up positions at Matignon. It has to make the political class and citizens think about the brutality of politics“, adds the former candidate for the LR primary for the presidential election.
For him, this overdue reshuffle, “it’s a bit curious” and “it can also be tactics on the part of the president“. But then, is it urgent to replace Jean Castex at Matignon? Philippe Juvin takes the example of Belgium, which has remained without a government for “more than a year, but it was a huge crisis“.
For him, however,the important thing is not so much that there is a new Prime Minister or that we keep the old one, it is that the Prime Minister in place plays his role, it is that France is governed“.
A woman in Matignon?
On whether having a woman at the head of the government is unavoidable: “no, of course“, answers Philippe Juvin but “it’s true that France is one of those great countries that hasn’t made much room for womenand, he concludes,it would be a beautiful symbol“.
