After weeks of waiting, the list of the new Barnier government was unveiled on Saturday, September 21. A first council of ministers will take place this Monday, September 23.
Their day started early. The 39 new members of the Barnier government were summoned this Monday, September 23, to Matignon for a working breakfast. Kick-off of a marathon day. A very symbolic handover first at the Ministry of Justice. Éric Dupond-Moretti gives way to the only personality from the left, Didier Migaud, not without a certain sense of unfinished business. “I regret not having had the time to present to Parliament a major text on the fight against the drug trafficker who is eating away at our society,” he lamented.
The former socialist who handed in his party card 14 years ago, ostentatiously displayed who his references were, especially from the left. “Robert Badinter, of course, closest to us and then Christiane Taubira and Nicole Belloubet,” he declared.
