Bruno Le Maire, who steered France’s economy from 2017 to 2024, moves to the defense front as the new defense minister. Think of it as a pro gamer switching classes – Le Maire trading spreadsheets for strategy! 🛡️
Roland Lescure steps in as economy minister, with a clear mission: craft a tight budget plan for 2024. With rising living costs and economic shifts worldwide, his budget math will be under the spotlight. 💰✨
Some faces stayed the same: Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin, and Culture Minister Rachida Dati all kept their roles. The presidency also revealed 18 names in total, including two deputy ministers, with more announcements coming soon.
President Emmanuel Macron will host the first cabinet meeting on Monday, says Elysee Palace Secretary-General Emmanuel Moulin. Cue the team huddle! 🏛️
Over on social, National Rally leader Jordan Bardella criticized the lineup, calling it continuity of the old setup. Politics, right? 🤷♂️ Either way, the world is watching how this crew will tackle France’s next chapter — from defense to dollars.
