July 2022 French government reshuffle

On 4 July 2022, Emmanuel Macron carried out the first reshuffle of his minority government, led by Prime minister Élisabeth Borne, since the start of his second presidential term.

[4] Between 21 June and 4 July, both President Macron and his Prime minister held talks with parliamentary opposition leaders in order to try forming a stable majority government.

[6] Also, adding to the political disarray surrounding the imminent reshuffle, Overseas Minister Yaël Braun-Pivet resigned from government on 25 June to run as the presidential bloc's candidate for President of the National Assembly, leaving her ministerial portfolio to the PM to manage.

Solidarity and Autonomy Minister Damien Abad, a former parliamentary LR leader, was sacked[10] after rape allegations against him emerged and tarnished the presidential coalition's campaign.

In the end, the reshuffle was considered to have been used more as an opportunity to calibrate political imbalances between diverse factions inside the cabinet than as a way to broaden its parliamentary appeal in the context of a hung parliament.
