The executive's agenda is becoming clearer and there is already a change.
This week's Council of Ministers, probably the last bringing together the current Castex government, will be held Thursday morning at 11 a.m., and not Wednesday as originally planned, we learned from a government source.
It will also be the first Council of Ministers that Emmanuel Macron will meet since his re-election on Sunday for a second five-year term.
A team probably largely renewed
The Head of State, who spent Monday at the La Lanterne residence in Versailles, is working on the composition of his future government.
According to those close to him, it should be finalized by the Council of Ministers on May 11, or even by the end of next week.
Emmanuel Macron intends not only to replace his Prime Minister Jean Castex but also to renew his government very largely, with few ministers renewed, according to a pillar of the majority.
As many want to stay, "there will be damage," he said.
The new government team, which could be completed after the June legislative elections, will have to, with the new advisers appointed to the Elysée, carry out the major projects announced by the Head of State (ecology, school, health, pensions, employment, purchasing power).
It will also have to embody the "new method" that he promised, with more consultation, to bring together a "fractured" country.
