Bruno Le Maire will not cross the border, if we are to believe his relatives. Contacted by Release This Tuesday, July 16, the entourage of the man who has been Minister of Economy and Finance for seven years denied the information from Chained Duck dated Wednesday, according to which he wishes to join, after leaving the government, the prestigious Polytechnic School of Lausanne in Switzerland. “This is totally false,” disputes one of his collaborators. Emmanuel Macron has certainly accepted the resignation of the Attal government, but the current team will remain in place while a new team is formed, to manage the “Current affairs”.
As for Bruno Le Maire’s future activities, it is assured that there would be “several options on the table. Nothing is signed with anyone at this stage. In any case, he loves France and will not leave it.” In 2012, Bruno Le Maire resigned from the civil service, claiming to be fighting “the spirit of caste”.
In his seven years in office, Bruno Le Maire has sought to present himself as the incarnation of the captain of the Bercy “cruise ship”, guiding the French economy through the storm with massive aid, before having to initiate a recovery of the public finances, which had deteriorated significantly. To those who attributed to him ambitions of Prime Minister during the reshuffle in January, the Minister of the Economy repeated over and over again that he wanted to stay at Bercy. To better position himself in the race for the Elysée in 2027, some observers believed, a scenario that the number 2 of the outgoing government does not rule out.
