Three members of the cabinet of the government spokesperson, Prisca Thevenot, resigned a few days after a hiccup from the minister over a false announcement of a foiled attack, we learned, Wednesday April 17, from those around her, confirming information from Marianne.

“It’s like in love, life in offices is like this. There are people who leave making noise and others who stay in silence and others who return in silence.commented Prisca Thevenot, questioned about these serial resignations during the report of the council of ministers.

“What matters to me and what interests me today, (…) it is to be able to explain, to carry out the action resolutely undertaken by the President of the Republic”she added, without giving the reasons for these departures. “I will continue to do it with a determined team”she assured.

Confusion

His entourage confirmed the departure of the chief of staff, his deputy and the chief of staff. The new chief of staff will be Matylda Brzezinska, a former communications advisor at Matignon when Elisabeth Borne was prime minister.

On April 3, in the report of the council of ministers, Ms. Thevenot sowed confusion about the threat of attacks by announcing that a “attempt to take action” had been foiled during the Easter weekend, before having to correct its own statements less than an hour later.

On April 2, Alexis Bétemps, the advisor responsible for writing the spokesperson’s speeches, had already resigned just before the publication of an investigation by Mediapart reporting his “attraction” for the ideas of the far-right essayist Alain Soral.
