“I had to pack the boxes”: waiting for the full casting, the Attal government is in agony

“I have ministers who were not called and who are starting to worry. “This small trust, signed by someone close to Emmanuel Macron, says a lot about the state of unrest that has spread through the presidential ranks since Gabriel Attal formed his government… at least. On 11 January, the new Prime Minister unveiled his famous “tight bunch” of fourteen ministers, heading what some call mega-portfolios. And this is a promise to those who failed or were not promoted to get a second chance during a new wave of appointments expected in the very first days of February, immediately after his general political declaration. That was two weeks ago… An eternity in politics.

The rest after this announcement

“I had to pack boxes at night because I had no legal right to stay in the office. All members of my cabinet also left,” a representative of the previous government told us on condition of anonymity in the hope that he would be recalled. Not without some absurdities: “In fact, we find ourselves in a gray zone: we are no longer ministers, we no longer have any funds associated with this function, nor the slightest compensation. But it so happened that Matignon summoned him for consultation on some urgent matters…” testifies another, calling himself a “volunteer minister.” About 200 employees suffered the same fate and found themselves unemployed overnight.
