This Thursday noon took place the last Council of Ministers of the Castex government before a resignation scheduled for next week.

For his future government, Emmanuel Macron plans to keep a few ministers, but in different positions.

But the Head of State wishes to renew and breathe new life into his project for this second five-year term.

A last Council of Ministers for the government of Jean Castex.

This Thursday, many ministers walked the steps of the Élysée for the last time, even though some cherish the hope of being reappointed.

At the end of this last gathering, a lunch cocktail took place at the Élysée in the presence of the 40 members of the government.

A meeting which marks the end of the current Castex government, before the upcoming announcement of his resignation and the future reshuffle.

Gabriel Attal should inherit the Budget Ministry

A new team to launch the second five-year term with one objective for Emmanuel Macron: to renew, to give a second wind.

Thus, several ministers currently in office are expected to remain, while changing portfolios.

Among the names mentioned who may still be there on May 14, we find the Minister of Overseas, Sébastien Lecornu, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of Agriculture Julien Denormandie, the Minister Delegate for Accounts public Olivier Dussopt or Gabriel Attal, current spokesperson for the Ministry of the Budget.

Finally, a minister from the current government is the favorite to become Prime Minister: Élisabeth Borne, the current Minister of Labour. 

Macron's close guard will also experience departures

The president will also experience departures within his close guard.

The secretary general of the Élysée, Alexis Kohler, close among those close to the head of state, could leave the Palace for a ministry.

Without forgetting Emmanuel Macron's communications adviser, Clément Leornaduzzi, who will leave the ship at the end of the week on his own to return to the private sector.
