No big change in sight.
Despite the slap received by the government in the regional elections, Emmanuel Macron does not plan to replace Jean Castex.
"The local elections do not call for national consequences, and therefore no change of Prime Minister in the coming months, or weeks," he said in an interview with
Elle
magazine
when the hypothesis of placing woman in this position was put forward.
As a reminder, LREM did not succeed in winning any metropolitan region in this election.
The head of state also blamed the coronavirus to explain the record abstention rate in this election.
“Here, the first explanation is the Covid-19.
These elections came at a time when it was not the pace of the country.
My role was to ensure that there was a political consensus on the date of this election, and in no way give the impression that I was manipulating the electoral calendar.
It is clear that people did not have the head at all to that ”, he affirmed.
