The head of the political department of Le Monde, spouse of an Attal advisor, leaves her post. Ivanne Trippenbach announced on Saturday that she was leaving this position and changing departments in the face of "the emotion caused" by the fact that her spouse is an advisor to Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

Members of the evening daily's editorial staff had been concerned about a risk of conflict of interest since her time at Matignon, and "a meeting of the committee of ethics and professional conduct" had been urgently convened.
