A post that arrives at a time of political depression

This start of reconversion comes after Ségolène Royal was dismissed from her post of pole ambassador in January 2020. Ségolène Royal was then very critical of the government, leaving the duty of reserve imposed by her position. .

This did not prevent him from explaining then in July to have been approached to enter the government.
