the government site announces his resignation by mistake

Saturday May 14, the official government website mistakenly announced the resignation of Jean Castex and his teams. “A computer error according to the government information service. But an error that falls badly. A bug, therefore, but the question remains: when will Jean Castex bring his letter of resignation to the Head of State? ?”wonders Jean-Christophe Galeazzi, on the set of the 23 Hours of franceinfo. “We already knew that it would not be for now, since Jean Castex was to go to the Vatican on Sunday May 15 as Prime Minister. In the end, it will not be, but it is also as Prime Minister that he must remain in Paris, due to the unforeseen trip of the President of the Republic to the United Arab Emirates. Emmanuel Macron will go to pay tribute to the late President Sheikh Khalifa. The two heads of the executive cannot be simultaneously outside the country, so the resignation should rather intervene on Monday”he continues.

But then, when will Emmanuel Macron announce the name of Jean Castex’s successor? “In absolute terms, everything is possible for the head of state, who always remains master of the clocks and in a way, the master of suspense at the moment. He takes his time, but it may be strategic The president initially waited to count the possible rallies, after the nominations of the other parties for the legislative elections.And then the profile is complex and Emmanuel Macron is playing a balancing act.He would rather like a woman from the left , without displeasing the right. Eco-friendly, without ignoring the business world. In short, to find this ‘five-legged sheep’ without offending the Macronists of the first hour, it takes time. Everything must be over with a fine-tooth comb: tax situation, conflicts of interest, criminal record, in order to avoid a new Cahuzac affair. Verifications which would have already started”concludes Jean-Christophe Galeazzi.
