法国新政府宣布成立

The formation of the new French government to be headed by conservative lawmaker Edouard Philippe, appointed Monday after Emmanuel Macron was sworn in as France's new president, was announced Wednesday by the president's office.

 

本周三，法国总统办公室公布了以保守派议员爱德华·菲利普为首的新一届政府组成名单，马克龙宣誓就职后在本周一任命爱德华·菲利普为总理。
 

 

In his first cabinet line-up, the new head of state mixed profiles unknown to the public with others coming from the political mainstream¹ to end decades of right-left divide.

 

Socialist² veteran Gerard Collomb, who is mayor of Lyon, was named as interior minister, while centrist politician Francois Bayrou was appointed to take the charge of the justice portfolio³. The two men were supporters of Macron during his election campaign.

 

From the outgoing Socialist government, Jean-Yves Le Drian, ex-defense⁴ minister and a close ally of former president Francois Hollande was the sole survivor⁵. He took the position of leading European and foreign affairs.

 

From the right-wing, Bruno Le Maire, a pro-European, was picked as economy minister. Nicolas Hulot, an ecologist activist⁶, was named as ecology minister.

 

Several women are in the list, which includes 18 ministers and four junior ministers. It's a fulfillment of Macron's campaign promise to deliver on gender⁷ parity⁸.

 

On the list was Sylvie Goulard, a centrist EU lawmaker, in charge of defense affairs, Agnes Buzyn, solidarity⁹ and health minister and Muriel Penicaud, the minister in charge of managing the thorny¹⁰ employment issue.
