It “will be published this year (2O25) during the month of January, after presentation to the Council of Ministers and decision of the Grand Master” that is to say the President of the Republic, indicates the institution in a press release. Prime Minister François Bayrou’s team, formed on December 23 following the fall of Michel Barnier’s government, will meet for the first time in the council of ministers on Friday.
However, the agenda should be busy and largely devoted to the situation in Mayotte, devastated by Cyclone Chido. The Grand Chancellery recalls that the award procedure is carried out in several stages: the ministers’ proposals are examined “by the council of the Order of the Legion of Honor chaired by the Grand Chancellor”.
Final decision of the President of the Republic
The three highest levels of this award founded by Napoleon Bonaparte, the rank of commander and the dignities of grand officer and grand cross, must be presented to the council of ministers, as well as the exceptional attributions. “The entire promotion is then submitted to the President of the Republic, Grand Master of the Legion of Honor, who makes the final award decision,” the press release continues.
