After a weekend of outbursts against President Hollande and the Socialist Government led by Manuel Valls, it was quickly decided to replace the outspoken "trouble makers". As Al Capone would have said "A team must play as a team" !
Our article yesterday stated that President Hollande was being pilloried for his disasterous conduct of French interests during the first two years of his five-year mandate. This theme is being used by all political parties in France which are already preparing themselves for the next Presidential Elections in 2017. There are many eager candidates to replace Hollande, convinced that they can do a much better job !
The result of the reshuffle can be expected tomorrow, Tuesday August 26, in time for the resumption next week of parliamentary sittings after the Summer recess !
One of the favourites to be axed in the reshuffle is the outspoken Arnaud Montebourg (aged 51). He has been in the forefront of French Politics as Minister since May 2012 and is at present the Minister of the Economy. He was one of the beaten Candidates in the Presidential Election in 2012 and may want to stand again in 2017 !
There are others who have crossed the "yellow line" in the Socialist Coalition and everyone in France is waiting with bated breath the announcement of the new Valls Cabinet. It is not Valls who will be judged, but President Hollande ! However, if this reshuffle does not work he may feel obliged to call a new Parliamentary Election !
