Known for his discipline and his rigor Jean Michel Lapin is a technocrat who likes to stay close to his records. A non-confrontational, unifying, conciliator, unifying and of high moral integrity, he knows how to avoid direct confrontations with his collaborators and at the same time keep himself away from affairs that have been fatal to other politicians ...

An experienced manager is notified and a politician very careful who knows, if ratified that being Prime minister in the current context, that his task will not be limited to a simple consultation with the Head of State, as the challenges are many, from the fight against poverty to the beginning of the reforms, through the appeasement of the social climate. He wants to continue economic reforms and investments in infrastructure to stimulate growth and revive dialogue.
