After seven years at Bercy, Bruno Le Maire is contemplating his next career move. Recent reports from Le Canard Enchaîné claim that the Minister of the Economy has secured a position at the École Polytechnique de Lausanne in Switzerland. The satirical newspaper suggests that Le Maire is facing difficulties finding a position in France due to potential conflicts of interest, prompting his consideration of opportunities abroad.
However, Le Maire's office has denied these claims, insisting that the minister will not leave France to work elsewhere. 'What is written in Le Canard is false: the minister will not leave France, words are important,' stated his office. They emphasized the distinction between working abroad and permanently leaving the country. 'Perhaps, moreover, he will not go to work elsewhere and that he will work in France,' the office added.
As his departure from Bercy looms, Le Maire's entourage remains tight-lipped about his future plans. 'He's like everyone else, he's thinking about his future and where he could work, and at the moment there are several options. He will communicate it, it is also normal to be transparent, but once everything is done and signed,' affirmed his office.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his next career move, Le Maire remains committed to his political career. In a recent interview with Le Point magazine, he asserted, 'My biggest political battles are ahead of me.' As the political landscape on the right and center continues to evolve, Le Maire's future steps will be closely watched.
