ANALYSIS
A redevelopment rather than a reshuffle. This is how, at the top of the state, the entrance to the government of Jean-Paul Delevoye and Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, announced on Tuesday by Europe 1, is qualified. With the arrival of the first to carry the pension reform and that of the second at the head of the portfolio of transport, it is therefore 37 members of the government who will attend Wednesday the government seminar back to Emmanuel Macron and Édouard Philippe. A reshuffle that aims to "help the ministers", as Michael Darmon, political leader of Europe 1 explains.
Jean-Paul Delevoye's long-anticipated entry will allow the High Commissioner for Reform to defend her in Parliament. "He is the man of negotiation and consultation, he has piloted, organized and structured this reform", recalls Michael Darmon. "Now he will carry the consultation, the negotiation, the pedagogy inside the government". With this arrival to the government, the former Chiraquian minister will benefit from "means", as well as from "a new authority", while being able to sit on the Council of Ministers, still indicates the editorialist of Europe 1. Finally, his appointment "will relieve Agnès Buzyn, already busy with the issue of emergencies."
The appointment of Djebbari, "a signal given to the majority"
Less well known, 37-year-old Jean-Baptiste Djebbari inherited the Transport portfolio from Minister of Environmental Transition Elisabeth Borne. And the young macronist, a professional airline pilot, knows the subject well, recalls Michael Darmon. "He is very much in charge of transport at the SNCF, and has been very present on the reform of the SNCF," he says. The elected also has for him to come from Limousin, "a very landlocked area, which has a lot of stakes" from the transport point of view, he explains again, describing "a signal given to the majority".
"Emmanuel Macron talked about 'redevelopment' to help ministers and not 'reshuffle', and he does it," concludes Michael Darmon.
