12:02 p.m.: How long does it usually take to appoint a government?
Until 2017, changes of government or reshuffles took place in a fairly short time. At the start of Emmanuel Macron’s first term, Edouard Philippe was appointed on May 15 and the ministers on May 17.
In 2014, Jean-Marc Ayrault resigned on March 31, the day after the elections failed by the PS, Manuel Valls was appointed Prime Minister the same day. Ministers are appointed on April 2. During the “Valls II” government, the Prime Minister resigned on August 25, 2014, was subsequently reappointed and the new government was announced on the 26th.
In 2012, Jean-Marc Ayrault was appointed to Matignon on May 15, the transfer of power took place on the 16th and the appointment of ministers the same day. In 2007, François Fillon was appointed head of government on May 17, the government on the 18th. The “Fillon II” and “Fillon III” governments will always be announced in less than 36 hours after the resignation of the previous cabinet.
Let’s go back again to 2005, Dominique de Villepin was appointed to Matignon on May 31, two days after the “no” victory in the referendum on the European constitution. Ministers are appointed on June 2. The year before, two days after the debacle of the right in the regional elections, Jacques Chirac renamed Jean-Pierre Raffarin prime minister on March 30, 2004, the government was appointed on April 1.
In short, in a nutshell: until 2017, a government takes between two and three days to be fully appointed. Since then, it’s generally more complicated. There is very little chance that the new list of ministers will be announced by this evening.
