“Building a government is not a Gérard Majax trick”: the story of a crazy day

This Friday, May 20, at 11 a.m., an electric 208 crosses the porch of the Élysée. On board, Bruno Le Maire drives his personal car. He has an appointment with the President of the Republic. His secretariat had to warn the palace guards to let in this unusual vehicle. He is not the only minister to appear. This rainy morning, the lucky ones parade one after the other. The cultural affairs adviser to the presidency Rima Abdul-Malak is received in high places (she only had to cross the main courtyard). The day before, Sébastien Lecornu went to 55, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré to learn from the mouth of the Head of State that he had been propelled Minister of the Armed Forces, the dream of this former reservist. Gérald Darmanin is also seen at the Élysée.
