The senior official has been named after the departure of his predecessor, Bruno Lasserre. No relays would have been possible – a first for this institution in the heart of the Republic.

A long suspense ends. Wednesday, January 5, Didier Tabuteau was appointed Vice President of the Council of State on the proposal of the custody of the seals, Eric Dupond-Moretti. He takes the lead of the highest French administrative court – the title of Chairman of the Council of State being reserved for the Prime Minister or the Minister of Justice, if they wish to sit at the General Assembly.
m. Tabuteau, until then President of the Social Section of the Institution, is also responsible for the Health Chair of the Paris Institute of Political Studies and former CoDirector of the Law Institute and Health. This senior 63-year-old officer had also led Bernard Kouchner’s office at the Ministry of Health and had been Deputy Director of the Office of the Ministry of Social Affairs with Claude Evin and Martine Aubry.
The senior official will succeed Bruno Lasserre, who left his duties the night before. This departure was transformed into a ceremony, since Mr. Macron, surrounded by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice, took the opportunity to give Mr. Lasserre the Badges of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor.
