Edouard Philippe and the new Prime Minister Jean Castex proceeded on Friday to the transfer of power. "I have no doubt that you will be able to make the right decisions," said Edouard Philippe to his successor, wishing him "much success and success." "Our country needs an open mind and a firm hand. And you have this open mind and this firm hand," he said.
The former head of government also thanked Emmanuel Macron, with whom he says he was "lucky to be able to work in conditions of confidence and fluidity". These years at Matignon, he continued, "will remain all my life as three rather exceptional years of incredible richness".
