The government now in full. Twenty-eight days after the first round of appointments, 20 ministers, delegate ministers and secretaries of state were appointed Thursday evening.

The appointment of Guillaume Kasbarian to Housing contested. Deputy Renaissance brought a law that toughens penalties against squatters. The text, criticized for its firmness towards precarious people who no longer pay their rent, was adopted in June 2023 by Parliament.
