Amélie de Montchalin is transitioning from her role as Minister of Public Accounts at Bercy to become the First President of the Court of Auditors, a move that has generated controversy due to her relatively young age of 40 and her non-traditional background, lacking prior experience within the Court's corps and having just held government positions. This appointment has caused a stir within the institution, with magistrates expressing skepticism about her ability to independently oversee public finances given her recent political roles. Her initial weeks in the position will be closely scrutinized by the Court's staff, who are reportedly waiting to observe her conduct and assess her approach to the significant responsibilities ahead.
