"The president is considering, on the proposal of the prime minister, appointing Emmanuel Moulin as governor of the Bank of France. Moulin, 57, was replaced last week after a year as chief of staff."
"Eric Coquerel, the hard-left head of the finance committee in the lower house, said he would be voting against the nomination of Moulin to head an institution supposed to be independent."
"Moulin's career 'almost guarantees the opposite, namely a dependence on the current executive branch and obvious risks in terms of neutrality', he said."
"Macron has already appointed another loyalist, Richard Ferrand, to head the country's highest constitutional authority."
Emmanuel Macron is contemplating the appointment of Emmanuel Moulin as the governor of the Bank of France. This decision has raised concerns among opponents who believe Macron is attempting to place allies in key positions before his term ends. Moulin, who recently served as chief of staff, will need to gain approval from finance committees in parliament. Critics argue that his background may compromise the independence of the central bank. If appointed, Moulin would succeed Francois Villeroy de Galhau, who is stepping down early.
