Even if she did not occupy a sovereign ministry, the departure of Sibeth Ndiaye marks a turning point in the entourage of the Head of State. Particularly close to Emmanuel Macron, she was his press advisor during the presidential campaign and then at the Elysée Palace. For the general public, she became a key figure in the government of Edouard Philippe, when she was propelled as a spokesperson in March 2019.
Refusal to be a Minister Delegate
If today she does not appear in the list of ministers of the Jean Castex team, those around her assure that it was her desire. She wants to "return to civilian life". According to LCI, his decision would also be motivated by "a family and personal choice". She even refused "proposals to be deputy minister".
The objective is therefore for those around him to show that there has been no disavowal of Emmanuel Macron against Sibeth Ndiaye. But, this great follower of the president, whom she assumes protecting at all costs, had to endure various controversies due to communication blunders, concentrating virulent criticism. After 16 months in office, Sibeth Ndiaye is replaced by Gabriel Attal.
