As the legislative elections are fast approaching, Emmanuel Macron has still not announced the name of his Prime Minister, who will succeed Jean Castex.

Véronique Bédague, the former chief of staff of Manuel Valls, refused the proposal of the head of state.

The socialist Valérie Rabault would also have declined the offer. 

The choice of the successor of Jean Castex sows the disorder in the macronie.

Emmanuel Macron must soon appoint a new personality to the post of Prime Minister.

Emmanuel Macron must indeed face refusals.

First there was Jean Castex.

According to our information, the Head of State had initially offered him to extend his lease to Matignon, until the second round of the legislative elections, in other words until June 19.

Véronique Bédague refused the job

The president would thus have known the future majority of the Assembly before turning everything upside down.

But the current prime minister said no.

The proposal was then made to the former director of cabinet of Manuel Valls at Matignon, Véronique Bédague.

But this enarque, currently managing director of Nexity Immobilier, refused.

Emmanuel Macron would preferably like to appoint a woman to Matignon.

Will Christelle Morançais accept the job? 

Valérie Rabault, president of the socialist group in the Assembly, was also offered the post.

This is what she says, despite the denial of the Elysée.

Refusal there too.

Ten days after his re-election, Emmanuel Macron therefore still finds himself without a new Prime Minister.

It is rumored that it is now only a matter of days.

The resignation of the current government is expected after the inauguration ceremony on Saturday.

And a name comes up insistently: that of Christelle Morançais, LR president of the Pays de la Loire region.
