The leader of French conservative LR party at the National Assembly accused the newly-appointed Culture Minister Rachida Dati to have " made a deal with (French President) Macron". Dati on Wednesday said she plans to run for Paris mayor in 2026, only days after joining President Emmanuel Macron's reshuffled government. Dati's arrival was the biggest surprise in last week's cabinet shake-up that saw 34-year-old Gabriel Attal take over as prime minister. Up until her appointment, Dati was a long-standing member of the opposition conservative LR party, and is mayor of the French capital's chic 7th district that is home to most French ministries, the country's parliament and many foreign embassies.
