It is the former socialist Olivier Dussopt who was chosen by Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne to lead the thorny projects that will go through the pension reform.
Olivier Dussopt was therefore appointed Minister of Full Employment and Integration, this Friday, May 20, 2022. And the one who was previously Minister of Public Accounts will have to confront burning issues. There is Matignon’s “hell”. But the Ministry of Labor could support the comparison in the weeks and months to come. Because the state administration will quickly find itself under the fire of the media and trade union spotlights. The reason ? The perilous pension reform that Emmanuel Macron wants to put in place quickly. A hot file in a context that promises to be electric that will have to manage the successor of Elisabeth Borne, while being in close contact with the new Prime Minister. In this position, a personality was needed who had the confidence of Matignon and the Elysée, and whose mastery of the files was guaranteed. Obviously, Olivier Dussopt has managed to win.
Minister of Labour, a technical portfolio
If the Ministry of Labor is not considered to be the most exposed, its scope of action is very wide, on often very delicate issues. He is responsible in particular for relations with the social partners and the reforms to be carried out on social affairs and the rules which structure the business world. The Ministry of Labor is located at 127 rue de Grenelle, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, in the Hôtel du Châtelet.
