François Hollande, the President of Republic, wanted the presence of the Elysée adviser present at the meeting of the new government, in order to ensure greater transparency in the method of transmitting the message to the French people and their Ministers and elected representatives.

He was replaced by Najat Vallaud Belkacem, former Minister of Sports and Youth, the youngest of the government and considered "most loyal" as quoted by the French media, with respect to the President and Prime Minister, which would have earned him his promotional reward.
Meanwhile the rest of the political class in France...

The environmentalist party EELV, (Usually in alliance with the left wing) said it had voted unanimously for a non-participation in government departments if proposals arose. At the vanguard of this movement by the person of rebellious Cécile Duflot former minister of housing and equal territories who resigned in March 2014, through being often at odds with his own executive.

Some members of the UMP, obviously wish that the Assembly be dissolved, given the fragile majority of the left (290 MPs to vote as the majority requires 289 votes) because many Socialists deputies have created a "group of rebellious" ... The question remains to be whether the right wing is really ready to govern ad hoc, knowing that the UMP, has not yet an official leader at the head of their party.

Arnaud Montebourg left for other battles, now out of the storm
That may get lost up to be forgotten himself reaching the sacrifice is may be the best way for Arnaud Montebourg to stay away from the politics for a while, even if he knows he will remain in the media arena. This is for sure, not only because he generates the hearing but arouses admiration for his brave choice and commitment to tackle the difficult tasks of rescue French industrial heritage. Moreover, this piece of work that he launched leave an after taste of unfinished business in "productive Recovery" in his battles.
**************************************************************************************************
Arnaud Montebourg is a martyr or the hero of the Left of his own destiny because he seems convinced that his destiny is drawn and of the need for commitment (He engaged to politics to 19) led by its ideology : To serve his people in particular France in general. But as one of his predecessors political rebellious (From Right) Charles de Gaulle, who also resigned in 1969 (After the 1968 protests in opposition to the bill to reform the Senate for the regionalization of the country), but he has indeed at that time proclaimed as a metaphor "France has lost a battle but not the war" *!
Arnaud Montebourg, who (aware or not) generated a major political storm within his own government, ended a conclusion by a provocative new fad in his handover adding his touch. He caters with an eye friendly at Emmanuel Macron the new economy minister, in an almost fatherly tone. "One has to leave the stage when cannot longer playing the comedy.
And if I have one advice for you in politics, the best weapon is sincerity and if you know how to use it you will see everyone will follow you "
That was a reverence sharp and full of innuendos, as if to say I'm still here although I quit the arena to stop pretending, unless predicting the occupation of another form of space podium, while enjoying the last glimpse of the official tribune at Bercy.
What will be the next battle of soldier Montebourg? Because he has accustomed the audience to already gone to war as stated by General de Gaulle, "We lost a battle but not the war." To be continued“¦
