Reshuffle: “There is a desire to practice an American-style executive”, analyzes Olivier Rouquan, political scientist – (FRANCEINFO)
Rumors of a reshuffle continue to hover over the government. It could take place this January 8, according to some sources. Olivier Rouquan, political scientist, was the guest of 12/13 info.
At the question : “Does Emmanuel Macron really need a Prime Minister?“, Olivier Rouquan, political scientist and guest of 12/13 info, responds: “It is true that the five-year term has changed the distribution of roles at the top. That said, we need a Prime Minister to shock public opinion, but that doesn’t work much (…). On the other hand, we need a Prime Minister to create a majority and to hold it as best as possible, to pass texts.”
A president cannot be impeached by a motion of censure
The guest underlines that a president cannot be dismissed by voting a motion of censure, however, the Prime Minister can be dismissed by parliamentarians. According to Olivier Rouquan, “we see that there is a desire to practice an American-style executive, where the president is the head of government.”
