PARIS, May 14 ― French President Emmanuel Macron formally begins his second term in office today, maintaining suspense about his new government ahead of parliamentary elections next month that will shape his next five years in power.
Speculation has been rife in the French media, with Unesco Director-General Audrey Azoulay and current Labour Minister Elisabeth Borne seen as possible candidates, but Macron has taken his time to name a replacement for outgoing Premier Jean Castex. “To go from around 60 MPs to a majority is highly improbable, but the dynamic created by the new union could mean they make major progress,” Frederic Dabi, head of the Ifop polling group, told AFP this week.
Others wonder whether the more consultative style is in keeping with the temperament of a president who is known to centralise decision-making and once theorised that French people wanted a king-like figure at the centre of national life.
