Macron has a new cabinet around

paris - The French president Emmanuel Macron has his new cabinet around. On Tuesday, he presented his ministerial team, later than expected. The recast is an attempt to stabilize its government and revitalize the reform plans.

The government is once again led by Prime Minister Édouard Philippe. The most striking appointment is that of leader of government party La République and Marche (LREM), Christophe Castaner, at the sensitive post of Minister of the Interior. He succeeds Gérard Collomb.

By relocating Castaner to the Interior, Macron has rewarded a loyal ally with a high position while keeping a confidant in this sensitive post.

Minister of Finance Bruno Le Maire, who has worked for Macron's reform plans for the euro zone, and Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian keep their post.

The French leader would already announce the government's reorganization last week, but Macron said he wanted to take more time to ensure that the right decisions were taken. An official of Macron's office described the new cabinet as 'dynamic. '

Most of the new appointments relate to relatively less prominent positions, including the new Minister of Agriculture (Didier Guillaume), Minister of Culture (Franck Riester) and the Minister for Overseas Territories (Jacqueline Gourault).
