Not really a reshuffle but ” technical adjustments “, in the words of the Prime Minister. The Elysee has announced via press release, Wednesday, June 17, replacements several government positions.
Clotilde Valter, Calvados MP, was appointed Secretary of State of the State Reform and simplification to the Prime Minister. It replaces Thierry Mandon, which itself becomes Secretary of State for Higher Education, under the leadership of the Minister of Education, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem.
Martine Pinville, Charente MP , takes the post of Secretary of State in charge of trade, crafts, consumer and social and solidarity economy from Emmanuel Macron, the Minister of Economy. Moreover, Laurence Rossignol, Secretary of State for the Family, Senior Citizens and autonomy, sees his wallet expanded to childhood. It remains attached to the Ministry of Health, led by Marisol Touraine.
Relatives of Francois Hollande
The State Secretaries movements were expected for several weeks . Geneviève Fioraso had left the Government in March for health reasons. His position was not immediately reassigned and was told Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, Minister of Education. Carole Delga, which covered trade, left his job to devote himself fully to the regional campaign, for which it is top of the list in Midi-Pyrenees Languedoc-Roussillon. The executive was obliged to choose two women to respect parity among members of the government.
All these appointments a political dimension. These are mainly around Francois Hollande who were promoted. Valter Clotilde was busy until then negotiations for the Dutch current within the Socialist Party. Close to historic Lionel Jospin and Daniel Vaillant, it is also part of the Premier supports, with whom she worked at Matignon in the late 1990s Martine Pinville cared for his part of the animation group of MPs loyal to Francois Hollande in the National Assembly. Both appointments so reward legitimists parliamentarians.
Thierry Mandon, which has not always supported President, sees also strengthened the government, even if it no longer depend
Neither aubrystes nor slingers
While several close members of Martine Aubry were approached for several weeks to make their entry into the government, none of them ultimately did selected. The mayor of Lille, who had joined the government majority at the last congress of the Socialist Party in Poitiers early June, recently lost control of its North Federation. Its candidate, Gilles Pargneaux, was defeated by Martine Godson, supported by a local elected Patrick Kanner, the Minister of the city, itself deemed close to Manuel Valls. An appointment of a aubryste was seen as a sign of appeasement between the executive and the mayor of Lille.
No parliamentary slinger has been promoted either. This mini-reshuffle is therefore in line with the “clarification” of summer 2014, following the release of the protesters ministers, Arnaud Montebourg (Economics), Benoît Hamon (education) and Aurélie Filippetti (culture). The executive has decided to appoint personalities perfectly in tune with the economic and political line adopted since January 2014 and the announcement of the responsibility pact.
No big moves before regional
To avoid giving too much importance to this mini-reshuffle, the Presidency of the Republic proceeded in a press release and not by the traditional announcement on the steps of the Elysee, for Secretary General, Jean-Pierre Jouyet. In the entourage of the head of state, it is envisaged maneuvers rather large government after the regional elections in December, to install the team in the run-up to the presidential campaign and try to expand again majority. “The real reshuffle will be the one by which the Greens return to government” , decrypts the near of Hollande.
But the conditions were not right for this time . In fact the head of state does not want a reshuffle causes a split in Europe Ecology-The Greens. While many environmentalists parliamentarians are candidates for government posts, the party base is now hostile to a return in the majority. In the entourage of Francois Hollande, it is estimated that the return of the Greens is linked to the decision to Cécile Duflot or not to be a candidate in the presidential election of 2017. Among the Socialists, we want to believe that regional compel reconciliations to prevent the removal of the left, particularly in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy in PACA. The December climate conference could also be a basis for discussion for an environmental shift in the final stretch of five years.
