Jean-Paul Delevoye, the High Commissioner for pension reform and Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, LREM deputy, make this Tuesday, September 3 their entry into the government. Jean-Paul Delevoye even makes a grand entrance by announcing himself his appointment in the newspaper La Voix du Nord before the mini-reshuffle official.
Disavowed and finally promoted. In announcing last week privileging the contribution period for the calculation of pensions, rather than the pivotal age advocated by Jean-Paul Delevoye , Emmanuel Macron took his high commissioner to counter . Eight days later, Jean-Paul Delevoye becomes minister, and passes from the status of adviser to that of decision-maker. Emmanuel Macron rewards one of his first supporters, the former Chiraquian having committed himself from the very beginning in the presidential campaign of the candidate Macron.
Jean-Paul Delevoye has preceded the official announcement in an interview granted to La Voix du Nord where he salutes "the confidence that (he) shows the president by (his) appointment ", stating that he will retain the title of high commissioner to the pension reform that he has held since September 2017 with the Minister of Solidarities and Health, Agnès Buzyn.
The choice is also strategic: although his proposals are not unanimous among the unions, Jean-Paul Delevoye has generally attracted the respect of his interlocutors in different plants.
By bringing him into the government, Emmanuel Macron is finally protecting himself against the possible criticisms that could have aroused the future presidential arbitrations on a reform of pensions at risk.
Former deputy then senator of the Pas-de-Calais since the 1980s, he is then a former Minister of the Public Service in the early 2000s and President of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council between 2010 and 2015.
Jean-Paul Delevoye has spent two years talking with the social partners to try to develop a universal pension system, merging the 42 systems that currently coexist. It is from now on as Minister that he will have to bring to completion this flagship project of Emmanuel Macron.
The deputy of Haute-Vienne LREM, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari inherits him, the portfolio of Transport. Reporter of the reform of the SNCF in 2018, this specialist of the questions of transport is a former pilot of line. He will be responsible for supporting the Minister of Environmental Transition, Élisabeth Borne, whose field of action had expanded considerably following the resignation of François de Rugy.
