Editorial: Le Monde

• The ministerial reshuffle ahead of the June European elections has not yielded the desired positive results.
• The delay by the President of the Republic in completing Gabriel Attal's team has diluted any surprise effect.
• Gabriel Attal's departure from the Ministry of Education has caused a vacuum and resentment.
• The effort by former socialist Nicole Belloubet to attend to the Ministry of Education following the failure of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra.
• François Bayrou, leader of MoDem, shows discontent with the government, criticizing an excessive conservative trend.
• Obvious tensions among the allies of the presidential party and between the left and right wings of Renaissance.
• The president's bet on a team that follows a more conservative line and is more than ever under his control.

Conclusion: The overall atmosphere is harmful and, instead of uniting forces for the elections, the majority seems to weaken against an aggressive opponent, with the Rassemblement National as the only political force showing dynamism in the polls.
