Gérald Darmanin is already thinking about “after” the Olympic Games when a “cycle at the Ministry of the Interior will be reached”. In an interview published Sunday evening by Le Figarothe Minister of the Interior paved the way for his departure, suggesting that the current government was not intended to last beyond the European elections.
“[Ma] mission is to succeed in the Olympic Games”, indicates the minister to the daily. “Afterwards, a cycle in the Ministry of the Interior will be achieved”, added this heavyweight of the government, who is one of the ministers of the Interior having spent the most time in these functions.
An “electroshock” government
The tenant of Place Beauvau adds that the Attal government, just named this week, is an “electroshock” government designed to win the European elections” in June, suggesting that it was not destined to last beyond that.
While the new government team is right-wing, this former LR member says he expects the executive to rely on “the two legs that speak to the popular electorate, authority in all areas of society and the ‘social listening’.
Gérald Darmanin, who says he was “very seduced by Emmanuel Macron when he raised the question of house arrest”, calls for “rediscovering this objective”. “It doesn’t cost a lot of money, it doesn’t require the vote of a major law in the Assembly,” he defends.
