The three new names proposed to sit on the Constitutional Council were announced, Tuesday, February 15, by the Head of State and the Presidents of the Two Assemblies. Emmanuel Macron proposes to name Jacqueline Gourault, Current Minister for the Cohesion of Territories and Relations with Territorial Communities.
Richard Ferrand, President of the National Assembly, proposes the magistrate Véronique Malbec, the current cabinet director of the Minister of Justice, Eric Dupond-Moretti. Gérard Larcher, President of the Senate, proposes for his part François Seners, State Councilor. If the commissions of the laws of the two assemblies give their downstream after hearings of these three personalities, they will replace on March 14, three women at the end of the term, Claire Bazy-Malaurie, Nicole Maestracci and Dominique Lottin.
The choices made by the President of the Republic and by the President of the National Assembly may surprise and raise questions. In the first chief, that of Véronique Malbec. This 63-year-old judicial magistrate with a busy career was the Attorney General of the Court of Appeal of Rennes, superior of the Prosecutor of Brest when he decided on October 13, 2017 the classification without the continuation of the preliminary inquiry concerning the ‘Case of Mutuals of Brittany. If Richard Ferrand wanted to appoint a judicial magistrate to the Constitutional Council, while M my Maestracci and Lottin leave, he was spoiled for choice. Taking the risk of appointing the magistrate who has classified his case looks, politically, at best with a stupidity.
On the end of the quinquennium where the divorce between the judiciary and the custody of the seals is spread out in broad daylight, this appointment is not really a sign of a desire for appeasement. M me Malbec, that the high magistrates viuped for accepting, in July 2020, to serve Mr DuPond-Moretti while many others had refused the position of Cabinet director, would have had trouble Find a position in the judiciary. An envisaged solution for her this fall, had been to name it prefect.
Former director of the National School of Judiciary and former Director of Judicial Services under three seal guards (Michèle Alliot-Marie, Michel Mercier and Christiane Taubira), M Me Malbec had returned in jurisdiction, as the Attorney General in Rennes then to Versailles before returning to the Chancery. Nicole Belloubet had appointed Secretary General of the Department in September 2018.
