Jean Garrigues, historian and specialist in French politics, is the guest on 19/20 info, Thursday February 8. He returns to the names that circulated before the announcement of the second phase of government appointments.
Several names were circulated on the evening of Thursday, February 8, while the second phase of nominations as part of the reshuffle was expected. “What is interesting is that unlike the first batch, which was very clearly indexed to right-wing, here we have a return to balance”estimates Jean Garrigues, historian and specialist in French politics, in 19/20 info, before the government was made official.
“There will be members of MoDem in this government”
Former Minister of Justice, Nicole Belloubet replaces Amélie Oudéa-Castéra at the Ministry of National Education, a personality “rather to the left”, notes Jean Garrigues. Patrice Vergriete, who was previously Minister of Housing, could remain in government by taking the helm of the Ministry of Transport. Here again, he is a politician “rather to the left”analyzes the historian. “There will be members of MoDem in this government”also predicts the specialist in French politics, in reference to the latest statements by François Bayrou. “There is a search for balance”summarizes Jean Garrigues.
