The announcement of the names of the ministers is imminent.

Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne are putting the finishing touches to the new government.

The new president of the LREM group in the National Assembly Aurore Bergé indeed underlined on Sunday "to wait for this reshuffle in the coming hours".

Once formed, this "collective" will be "there to respond to the concerns of the French", first and foremost that of purchasing power, and will be "definitively installed, because we are here to last", she said. argues to the RTL-Le Figaro-LCI Grand Jury.

The executive will have to know how to build compromises

The common point of the new members will be "to be able to share the roadmap which was chosen by the French" with the election of Emmanuel Macron, underlined Aurore Bergé, suggesting that the oppositions demanding an "amended" project will be for their costs.

If building the balance of a new team is always complex, the exercise is this time even more so after the slap of the loss of the absolute majority in the National Assembly in June, which should oblige the executive to increase the place of its MoDem and Horizons partners and to try to take hold on the right or on the left, within the framework of the political "overcoming" advocated by Emmanuel Macron.

A heavyweight in the government spoke on Friday of the need to have above all “competent” ministers, and having “control of parliament” where compromises will have to be built.

The Prime Minister has thus multiplied the meetings with the bosses of groups in the Assembly in recent days, to end with exchanges with Emmanuel Macron on Friday.

The first is to replace the three ministers who failed in the legislative elections, all women, while continuing to respect parity: Amélie de Montchalin (Ecological Transition), Brigitte Bourguignon (Health) and Justine Benin (Sea).

Not to mention Yaël Braun-Pivet (Overseas), who has just been elected President of the Assembly.

Decide the Abad case

A sensitive subject, the case of Damien Abad (Solidarity) will also be decided, while the minister is under investigation for attempted rape after a woman's complaint for facts that allegedly took place in 2010. The Prime Minister will make the right decision in the hours to come" about her, assured Aurore Bergé, noting that "from the moment you have an open investigation, we then have people who are prevented from exercising their function ".

The tone is different for Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, the Secretary of State for Development who is reproached by patients for gestures that they consider to be like "rape" when she was working as a gynecologist: she "clearly has all my support", underlined Aurora Bergé.

The reshuffle, then the general policy speech delivered by Elisabeth Borne on Wednesday, for which she has still not said whether she would seek the confidence of the deputies, should make it possible to close what seemed like a long period of uncertainty for the executive. , since the re-election of Emmanuel Macron on April 24.
