According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, French President Emmanuel Macron, who has undergone changes in the country’s cabinet, chose Stephane Sijourney as the foreign minister and the leader of the European wing of his government.

Earlier on Tuesday, Macron introduced Gabriel Ettal as the new prime minister of this country; The country’s first openly gay prime minister.

According to a Politico report, foreign secretary-designate Stephane Sijurny is Atal’s partner, but they recently separated, and their separation was made official on Thursday.

Agence France-Presse also wrote in its report that Stephane Sijourney, who was Atal’s sexual partner at one time, has replaced Catherine Cullen as the French Foreign Minister.

During the siege, it is expected that the French Foreign Ministry will move more towards the European Union.

One ​​of Sijourney’s aides says that he preferred to be titled “Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs” because the European Union will be one of the main priorities of his ministry.

Macron’s camp is about eight to 10 percent behind the far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s party in the polls. The French president has been grappling with a new parliamentary composition to advance his policies since his party lost an absolute parliamentary majority by losing 55 seats shortly after his 2022 re-election.

Analysts said the move would not necessarily lead to major political change, but would signal Macron’s willingness to try to pass last year’s unpopular pension and immigration reforms and improve the party’s chances. He is a moderate in the June elections of the European Union.
