THE ESSENTIAL

  • Edouard Philippe presented the resignation of his government this Friday morning. The Philippe II government therefore only manages current affairs until the appointment of the next.
  • For the moment, it is not known if the reshuffle will take place today. This does not mean that the next Prime Minister will not be ... Edouard Philippe.
  • The government to be appointed will be formally the third in the term of Emmanuel Macron after Philippe I (before the legislative elections of 2017) and Philippe II (since the day after the legislative elections).
