CNews control: who is Didier-Roland Tabuteau, man in the shadows and vice-president of the Council of State?. He is a senior magistrate with a very left-wing influence who is currently at the head of the highest French administrative authority.

Two years ago, Emmanuel Macron propelled him to the helm, of which he already heads the social section. The president would have liked to reward this service on the front line in the management of the Covid crisis, while the administrative jurisdiction had been relatively conciliatory with the government.
