Gabriel Attal went to National Education, so it was the Gironde deputy Thomas Cazenave who took over the management of Bercy, and more precisely the position of Delegate Minister of Public Accounts. At 45, this high-ranking civil servant graduated from the ENA and graduated in economics and administration will take his first steps in government.
Elected for the first time in 2022 as a deputy for the Gironde, this Bordeaux had tried in vain two years before to run for mayor of Bordeaux, which was finally won by the environmentalist Pierre Hurmic. A severe debacle where the list he headed came in third place, just one point ahead of that of the revolutionary Trotskyist Philippe Poutou. An alliance of circumstances, tied at the fingertips between the two towers with the outgoing LR candidate, had not prevented Pierre Hurmic from seizing the town hall.
early macronist
A senior official who passed through the General Finance Inspectorate (IGF), where he met Emmanuel Macron in 2007, and with whom he worked on the Attali Commission to unleash French growth, Thomas Cazenave was until now a shadowy man in circles of force.
After a brief stint at the operator Orange and the management of Pôle Emploi, he joined Emmanuel Macron, then Minister of the Economy, in 2016 as deputy chief of staff.
“Walker” from the beginning, he participated in 2017 in the development of the presidential program of the future president before occupying the position of inter-ministerial delegate for public transformation for two years, under the authority of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe. His mission: to make public action simpler and more effective by working across multiple ministries.
An experience that allows him to have the ideal candidate profile for Public Accounts due to its transversality and also due to the objective assigned to the latter of reducing public spending.
A singer of going further and “at the same time”, a pure macronista, this former close friend of the PS, father of two children, was a fervent supporter of Elisabeth Borne in Matignon, whose ability he praised “to bring the archives to a good port that they be entrusted to him”.
Sensitive to environmental issues, the Gironde deputy-elect, who chaired the National Assembly’s delegation to communities, was preparing to present a bill by the summer in order to generalize green budgets in communities. In other words, allow municipalities to borrow to finance environmental programs. In Bercy, it is rather the reduction of the country’s debt that will be on his roadmap.
