French President Macron reshuffles Cabinet economic recovery and global warming countermeasures July 7, 7:30
French President Macron restructured the Cabinet two years before the presidential election, leaving the economy minister afloat, and strengthening the power of the new environment minister. He showed his willingness to put effort into recovery and global warming countermeasures.
In France, the Cabinet resigned on the 3rd after the ruling party was defeated in a unified local election last month.
In response to this, President Macron appointed Mr. Castex, who served as an important post in the countermeasure against the new coronavirus, as the new prime minister, and restructured the cabinet on the 6th.
Among them, the economy minister Lehmer will be retained and will continue to play a role in economic recovery that will be seriously hit by the new coronavirus. In order to promote countermeasures, he showed his stance to focus on global warming countermeasures by giving more authority and taking charge of housing policy.
President Macron, who is aiming for re-election in the presidential election two years later, wants to urgently rebuild the domestic economy and environmental measures affected by the spread of infection, while the approval rating is slumping to around 35%. It is an idea.
