The Philippe II cabinet is the government of France under Prime Minister Édouard Philippe since June 21, 2017 . It is the forty-first government of the Fifth Republic and the second to be appointed by President Emmanuel Macron . The previous cabinet was the Philippe I cabinet . All members of the government resigned on July 3, 2020, but will remain in office until their successors have been appointed.

Government formation

As usual in France, the previous government resigned shortly after the second round of parliamentary elections in order to allow President Macron to reshuffle the government. This again commissioned Édouard Philippe to form a government. The government was appointed on June 21, 2017.

Contrary to what was originally announced, a major reshuffle of the government took place because MoDem ministers François Bayrou , Sylvie Goulard and Marielle de Sarnez declared that they no longer wanted to belong to the new government because of allegations of illegal party financing and Richard Ferrand because of allegations of favoring his partner. In addition to the necessary changes in staff, six additional State Secretary posts were created, which, unlike in France, were not given a specific area of ​​responsibility.

The government (like the previous government) includes some people from other parties, without these parties officially supporting the government, including

The Prime Minister, a Minister and a Secretary of State were Republican members at the time the government was formed but were expelled from the party in late October 2017.
