Reshuffle: Gabriel Attal’s new government leans to the right – (FRANCEINFO)
Rachida Dati and Catherine Vautrin joined Gérald Darmanin and Bruno Le Maire in the government on Thursday January 11. These four strong political figures, from the UMP, all worked for Nicolas Sarkozy.
Which political parties does the new government consist of? Of the 14 ministers designated by Emmanuel Macron and Gabriel Attal on Thursday January 11, three of them are from the left, compared to eight from the right. From Bruno Le Maire to Catherine Vautrin, via Gérald Darmanin or Rachida Dati, the balance of this reshuffle tilts ostensibly to the right. These four strong political figures all come from the UMP, and worked for Nicolas Sarkozy.
“France that gets up early in the morning”
In addition to the government cast, the words of the new Prime Minister echo those of Nicolas Sarkozy. On January 9, Gabriel Attal spoke “France which works, hardworking, which gets up early in the morning”precisely as the former President of the Republic did in February 2007. In addition, he hammered home his objectives: work, security, authority and order. “We are increasingly in a structure where the electoral sociology of macronism is a right-wing sociology”analyzes Brice Teinturier, deputy general director of IPSOS.
