Once the Games are over, on Sunday 11 August, Emmanuel Macron will be under pressure to appoint a Prime Minister in the coming days. The Head of State has not let anything slip for the moment and could still play for time.He has no deadline that constrains him“, however, qualifies political scientist Dorian Dreuil. For the formation of a new government to take place calmly, the president could also open a period of consultation.

If the hypothesis of Lucie Castets at Matignon seems to be ruled out for the moment, other names have regularly come back on the table, such as Xavier Bertrand, Michel Barnier or Jean-Louis Borloo for the right, while the name of Bernard Cazeneuve, former Prime Minister of François Hollande, circule on the left. Emmanuel Macron could clarify his intentions in an interview published Monday, August 12 in the columns of L’Équipe.
