This is the first departure of the Borne 2 government, formed after the legislative elections. The Minister Delegate for Local Authorities, Caroline Cayeux, has tendered her resignation. In question, a problem of declaration of assets with the High Authority for the transparency of public life.
” I prefer to resign so as not to hinder the action of the government. Caroline Cayeux wanted to give her version of her departure in a text published on social networks.
According to her, the problem would come from a difference of opinion on her declaration of assets with the HATVP, which would call into question her “sincerity”. The High Authority refuses for the moment to communicate on the subject.
