Former NFP candidate for Matignon, but also ex-finance director for the city of Paris, Lucie Castets would have been dismissed in a knightly fashion by Anne Hidalgo, according to our colleagues at Le Monde.
Was Lucie Castets fired by Anne Hidalgo via SMS? The NFP candidate from Matignon and former financial director of the city of Paris would have been “expelled” by Anne Hidalgo, “without unnecessary elegance”, “the mayor notifying her by SMS of her dismissal at the end of August”, according to information from the newspaper The world.
Information that Anne Hidalgo hastened to deny in the press: “Contrary to the statement published in Le Monde Journal, the mayor of Paris categorically denies that he sent an SMS to Lucie Castets informing her of her “dismissal”, those around informed. Progress.
What will Lucie Castets do?
On August 29, a few days after Emmanuel Macron's refusal to appoint himself prime minister, Lucie Castets explained to BFMTV that she is still “putting an end to her functions as finance director at Paris city hall” while continuing to invest with NFP as a “travel companion”. But what will she do now? What is certain is that he will not join Michel Barnier's government. “I'm a state administrator at the Ministry of Finance,” she explains World. “I'll probably make myself available, I'm looking for something in the associative field.”
