More than three weeks after the appointment of Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister, the names of the 15 delegate ministers and secretaries of state should be announced in the next two days. A headache for the executive who wants a tighter and rebalanced team.
Gabriel Attal has still not completed his government team. The suspense over the names of the 15 new delegate ministers and secretaries of state should end in the next two days. Housing, health, transport... There is no shortage of vacancies but they represent a real headache for Gabriel Attal and Emmanuel Macron who want a tighter and more balanced team.
The Horizons party, better represented?
No more than fifteen new entrants without causing disappointment, such is the challenge for Gabriel Attal who will have to resolve a problem of balance within the majority. Horizons, the party of Édouard Philippe, wishes to be better represented with the appointment of young deputies, like Naïma Moutchou.
For its part, the MoDem hopes to keep its three state secretariats but everything will depend on the decision of the Court in the case of European parliamentary assistants which will be rendered this Monday morning. A conviction could mark a real blow to the ambitions of François Bayrou and his party.

The fate of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra divides
The left wing of the majority also wishes to "compensate" for the arrival of the Sarkozystes, Rachida Dati and Catherine Vautrin, with the possible appointment of Sacha Houlié to Sports. Even if "the poaching on the right can continue" according to a rather worried MP.
Finally, the fate of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra divides the Élysée and Matignon. Since the controversy over the schooling of his children, Gabriel Attal would like to oust him from the government. Out of the question, replies Emmanuel Macron.
