French President Emmanuel Macron reshuffled his government on Tuesday, naming loyalist and head of his ruling party Christophe Castaner to the sensitive post of interior minister.
The reshuffle is an attempt to steady his administration after a series of resignations, and revive a reform drive that has shown signs of flagging.
Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who has spearheaded Macron’s eurozone reform push, and Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian retained their posts.
The president and his prime minister have been weighing the reshuffle for a few weeks, following the departure of three ministers since late August, including Interior Minister Gérard Collomb and Environment Minister Nicolas Hulot .
Ministers had been expecting the rejig before a cabinet meeting last week. But the Élysée said it would not happen until Macron’s return from a visit to Armenia that Friday.
