Drop in for a natter about anything French related.She's had a bumpy ride with some controversial policies. Recently there has been a rift between her and Macron, and after he informed her he wished to nominate a new PM, she sent in her letter of resignation.

The new PM will be announced tomorrow.

French friends have mentioned Gabriel Attal, Julien Denormandie, Bruno Le Maire and Sebastien Lecornu. Attal may have to wait a little longer for high positions in givernment.

No surprise imo that it was Gabriel Attal.
The next step, in June, is the European elections. The opposition candidates are young: Xavier Bellamy - LR (38), Jordan Bardella - RN (28) and Marion Maréchal - Reconquest (34). So Macron wanted a young man: Attal is 34 years old.
In addition, as a Minister of Education, Attal did the little things that right-wing patriots demand, like banning the abaya at school. Macron's advisors took a good look at the latest polls to help him decide...
Captain Macron has no heading for the France boat: he follows the wind.
But, no illusion: Attal will also be Macron's puppet until June. Afterwards, following the results of the European elections, Attal could be the next fuse...

Oh yes, Biloute, the revolving door exists in France just as it does in the UK.
As long as Attal help Manu, he will be useful. It will be interesting to see who else comes up in the re-shuffle.
