 Macron's new sports minister is Laura Flessel, an Olympic fencing champion French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled a gender-balanced cabinet in accordance with an earlier pledge, with 11 of 22 posts taken by women. Sylvie Goulard is defence minister while Olympic fencing champion Laura Flessel is sports minister. Bruno Le Maire is economy minister, Gérard Collomb is interior minister and François Bayrou is justice minister. Mr Macron's decision to pluck figures from across the political spectrum has sent the French right into disarray. Mr Le Maire is a conservative moderate, Mr Collomb is the Socialist mayor of Lyon and Mr Bayrou is a veteran centrist. Some 170 elected officials from the right were earlier criticised by hundreds of other lawmakers after they signed a statement backing Mr Macron. One accused Mr Macron of "blowing up" the political landscape. more www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39948523 |

well he did say he wanted/promised have half of positions filled by women.. and he has full filled his plegde
while I am not in favour of gender numbers over ability...it will be very interesting to see what transpires.. after all it couldn't be any worse than it has been.. and who knows it could be a great improvement .. well anything has to be an improvement on the ways things have been run up to now
""""Mr Macron's decision to pluck figures from across the political spectrum has sent the French right into disarray."""i would imagine it would send shivers down many a spine right or left...I mean who would have thought an elected polito actually choosing who he thinks is best for the job...wow.. the sky will fall
"""One accused Mr Macron of "blowing up" the political landscape.""" wonderful the political landscape has been in need of being blown up for an awful long time.. for too long party lines have been all that's on offer.. and the needs of the voters very secondry to the party line and polititans own affiliations and personal benefits
yet another message to polititions in general...polititions who are desperate to keep the status quo and the politically self serving embedded and party aprachniks
take note.. the people are leading a quiet revolution .. its time you took note
I know Trump is not exactly the change many had in mind ...but his election over the obedient don't rock the boat Clinton
is part of this change that people are desperate to happen ...
be interesting to see the results of the forth coming French general election and the polical views of those e;ected
