In France, three new ministers sat around the table at the Elysee Palace for the cabinet, including Sibeth Ndiaye, the new spokesman for the government. The Dakar native, aged 39, has been part of Emmanuel Macron's bodyguard for several years. During the transfer of power this morning with Benjamin Griveaux, Emmanuel Macron's former "madam communication" returned to his atypical career.
Sibeth Ndiaye evoked her childhood in Seine-Saint-Denis, this department of the Paris region where, she said, " nothing is simple but where everything is possible ". She also admits to having doubted before going from shadow to light .
But she remembered what her Senegalese parents told her. " It is also in Senegal the country of my birth that I drew the courage to climb this march in all humility. It was in my childhood that I was looking for these words often uttered by our parents to help my sisters and I break the glass ceilings : where you are, you are in your place. "
His position has long been that of press advisor Emmanuel Macron. A position she occupies at the Ministry of Economy, then during the presidential campaign and finally at the Elysee. Close to the president's close relations , she knows Emmanuel Macron by heart.
With her strong character, with her language sometimes believed, she has for two years an often conflictual relationship with journalists. She applied to the letter the foreclosure of the presidential communication, assuming to lie to defend her mentor.
She confided a year ago that she would never make politics in full light. Emmanuel Macron has obviously convinced him of the opposite.
This Ministry is open to you: often considered as that of the word, I want it first of all to be listening. It is with you all that I want to contribute to re-establish the links of a collective history, a progress to conquer, a transformation to succeed.
