The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron proposed, Monday, June 5, to appoint the former MoDem deputy Sylvain Waserman at the head of the Environment and Energy Management Agency (Ademe) after the failure of its previous candidate, Boris Ravignon, challenged in an unprecedented way by Parliament.
“The President of the Republic plans, on the proposal of the Prime Minister [Elisabeth Borne]to appoint Sylvain Waserman as Chairman of the Board of Directors” of Ademe, specifies the Elysée in a press release.
Parliament must now decide
Parliament must now give the green light to the appointment of this 56-year-old former Alsatian deputy, beaten in the legislative elections last year by Nupes candidate Emmanuel Fernandes, after a first term in the National Assembly .
At the beginning of April, the Parliament had created the surprise by rejecting the appointment of the mayor Les Républicains of Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes), Boris Ravignon, at the head of Ademe, because of his desire to combine several functions. More than three-fifths of those elected had voted against, the quota required by the Constitution to oppose an appointment proposed by the President of the Republic. It was the first time that a candidate proposed by the Elysée, at Ademe or elsewhere, was challenged since this appointment procedure was introduced in 2008.
