Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne unveiled the composition of the new government on Monday morning.

A government finally without surprise or certain regal ministers, like Bruno Le Maire and Gérald Darmanin see their prerogatives reinforced.

The Minister of the Interior now benefits from an extended portfolio, unheard of since 2011.

This second government of the Elisabeth Borne era unveiled on Monday morning was to be a "government of action".

The expression was from Emmanuel Macron, himself.

The President of the Republic had also extended his hand to the political forces ready to cooperate with the majority, "from the Communists to the Republicans".

But after this reshuffle, it is difficult to speak of a "transpartisan" government.

No surprises in the new government

Emmanuel Macron 15 days ago wanted to show that he was reaching out by proposing to opposition deputies to participate in a unity government, while knowing the answer in advance, that is to say that he didn't want an opposing force.

Among the new ones, we can note the entry of the former LR Caroline Cayeux, to local authorities, or even Olivier Klein, the mayor of Clichy-sous-Bois, formerly a communist before becoming a socialist.

But both had already publicly supported Emmanuel Macron in the past.

Their appointment is therefore not a big surprise.

Is Darmanin the big winner of the reshuffle?

The other lesson of this reshuffle is that the sovereign ministers are not moving, starting with Bruno Le Maire at Bercy.

And then, Gérald Darmanin is clearly the big winner of this transfer window.

The number 3 of the government now has an extremely broad portfolio: the Interior therefore, but also the Overseas, local communities and immigration.

Since Claude Guéant in 2011, more than ten years ago, no Minister of the Interior had obtained such a perimeter.

Finally, there are very few surprises in this new team.

These new ministers should not, however, allow Emmanuel Macron to rally the 44 deputies he needs to obtain an absolute majority.
