Managing the aftermath of the crisis has been a top priority for Dati. Earlier this month, Dati announced she would step down from her ministerial role to run for mayor. However, three individuals close to her discussions with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, speaking anonymously, revealed that she is trying to retain her position for as long as possible. “She wants to be seen as the one who resolved the Louvre issue,” stated a source close to Macron.
Des Cars told Le Figaro in an interview that her resignation was timed to ensure the Louvre’s modernization plans proceed without interruption. “The Minister of Culture asked me to steer through the storm, which I did with composure. I am satisfied and proud of my achievements. But mere perseverance isn’t enough,” she remarked.
In a statement addressing des Cars’ departure on Tuesday evening, Dati’s Culture Ministry stated that the incident had “unsettled an institution central to our nation’s cultural and heritage prominence.”
