In Elisabeth Borne’s government there are several new faces, including Olivier Dussopt. The politician was appointed Minister of Labour, Full Employment and Integration, almost a week ago, Tuesday, May 24.
This ex-figure of the Socialist Party nevertheless had a big disagreement with the President of the Republic. In September 2014, the latter, freshly Minister of the Economy, was violently apostrophized in the Assembly by the one who was a Socialist deputy. The reason ? A not very tasteful comment on the workers of Gad located in Lampaul-Guimiliau (Brittany), qualified “illiterates”.
At the time, The chained Duck relays the incident while the main interested party said European 1. “My name is Olivier Dussopt, I am a deputy for Ardèche. My mother is a worker, does not have a diploma and has been fired twice. You insulted her, he said, blaming Emmanuel Macron for having behaved like an “asshole” and for having shown “contempt”. Following this, the husband of Brigitte Macron had expressed his regrets during questions to the government. “I have regrets because I hurt employees and I didn’t want to. I can’t apologize enough for that.”
Water has finally flowed under the bridge, since Olivier Dussopt was appointed Secretary of State in charge of the public service to Gérald Darmanin in November 2017 under the first term of the current Head of State. He was also Jean Castex’s delegate minister in charge of public accounts from July 2020 to May 2022.
On the news side, Emmanuel Macron will go this Tuesday, May 31 to Cherbourg-en-Cotentin to join the public hospital center of Cotentin (CHPC Pasteur). For this visit, which will begin at 4 p.m., he will be accompanied by the Minister of Health, Brigitte Bourguignon. He will discuss with health professionals about access to care in the city.
