Among the seven women appointed ministers, Thursday evening, in the first government of Gabriel Attal, a new entrant, Marie Lebec, Renaissance deputy from Yvelines, who becomes the youngest minister of the new team but also the first woman in charge of Relations with the parliament. A particularly complex task with a relative majority.

The new Minister in charge of Relations with Parliament, Marie Lebec, is only 33 years old but already has a busy political career. Her first commitments took her to the side of the UMP and Nicolas Sarkozy but she is one of those young people who followed Emmanuel Macron from the start, those who believed in renewal and political overcoming, a pure product of “macronism » original.
Pillar of the Renaissance group
Elected MP for Yvelines in 2017, she became a pillar of the Renaissance group in the Assembly, direct and skillful, which will serve her well in her new position… which no woman before her had held. Minister of Relations with Parliament, this is a position where she will have to manage opposition – in particular the Republicans angry at the appointment of Rachida Dati to the Ministry of Culture, but also the majority and in particular the Modem on the verge of a crisis of nerves with the marked right-wing of this reshuffle, a bad omen for the next votes in the Assembly.
New generation
His appointment corresponds to Emmanuel Macron’s desire to bring a new generation into a team led by Gabriel Attal, a 34-year-old Prime Minister. The entry of Marie Lebec into government is therefore both a symbol and a bet.
