Friday, May 20, after the announcement of the new government, the deadlines will quickly arrive and they will follow one another for the new government team. Anne Sotck exchangeduplex of the Élysée, gives information on the continuation of the events.

It’s a habit, the first Council of Ministers will be scrutinized by observers of political life. This first ministerial meeting will take place on Monday May 23, at 10 a.m., in Matignon. It is also on this date that the duty of reserve of the candidates for the legislative elections which will take place next June will begin. In order not to interfere with the campaign, few announcements on future reforms should be made at this time.

The duty of reserve that the candidates will have can allow the President of the Republic to avoid too hasty announcements which would displease the French on the program and thus to limit possible losses of seats in the National Assembly. The President of the Republic and his government first have the objective of obtaining an absolute majority in the legislative elections.
