Former Prime Minister Jean Castex is soon to be appointed CEO of the RATP, franceinfo learned on Tuesday October 18 from his entourage, confirming information from the Figaro (article reserved for subscribers).

The High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (HATVP) issued a favorable opinion on Tuesday, a source familiar with the matter told franceinfo. His file must now be validated by the parliamentary committees and then the Council of Ministers.

The former head of government must therefore succeed Catherine Guillouard at the head of the Autonomous Paris Transport Authority. Passionate about trains, he had already chaired the Transport Infrastructure Financing Agency (Afit) since July. Before him and Catherine Guillouard, the current Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne had also been CEO of the RATP between 2015 and 2017.
