Finally, there is a Borne 3 government. After four days and four nights of reflection between the Head of State and his Prime Minister, made difficult by the preservation of the balance between the sensitivities of the majority, from the Renaissance party to the allies of the MoDem and Horizons, the composition of the new team in power – forty ministers and secretaries of state, integrating eight new members and recording five departures – was distilled in dribs and drabs, Thursday, July 20, by BFM-TV and Agence France-Presse.
Formalized in the evening by a press release from the Presidency of the Republic, it must meet for its first Council of Ministers on Friday at 11 a.m. Emmanuel Macron must deliver a filmed opening remarks on this occasion, indicates the Elysée.
This new cast marks the failure of civil society figures engaged in 2022, replaced Thursday by pure politics.

The threat of government censorship in the fall, on the occasion of the examination of the immigration bill or the budget, therefore remains the sword of Damocles hanging over this new team.
The main event of this reshuffle is the appointment of Gabriel Attal to the Ministry of National Education, replacing Pap Ndiaye.

Without waiting, Gabriel Attal carried out the handover, rue de Grenelle, as soon as the Elysian press release was published. calling the school a “fragile treasure of a nation in doubt”it has set itself the priorities of “putting respect for authority and fundamental knowledge back at the heart of the school”to guarantee that each student has a teacher in front of him and to make school “a sanctuary that protects and instructs”he says, quoting Jean Zay.
