Critics in Parliament immediately noted that Mr Castaner had little experience in two of the major challenges facing France today, migration and terrorism – both of which fall under the jurisdiction of the Home Secretary.
"I have never heard of fundamental issues in five years," said Tuesday at Agence France-Eric Eric Ciotti, deputy of the French right.
Stressing his lack of experience, Macron Tuesday proposed to Laurent Nuñez, former police chief in Marseille and current prefect of police in Marseille, to be the second in command of the Ministry of the Interior.
Laurent Bigorgne, director of the Institut Montaigne, a think tank close to Mr. Macron, congratulated the president to strengthen the ministry in charge of local authorities, a hot spot, because the French mayors are dissatisfied with him. Mr. Bigorgne also rejected the idea of choosing Mr. Molins, claiming that the police – who report to the Ministry of the Interior – would not have accepted a "magistrate" who gave them orders.
Meanwhile, in front of the headquarters of his party, in the refined district of the North Station in Paris, Mr. Mélenchon, the leader of France Unbowed, raged on Tuesday to hit Mr. Castaner.
"This is how the new Minister of the Interior is leaving, and the Minister of Justice, it is what they do in this country to intimidate and frighten," Mr. Mélenchon, wearing the belt official patriotic red white and blue, shouted to the supporters who had massed in the street.
