Macron Names Frédéric Rose as New Personal Representative to Andorra

French President Emmanuel Macron, Andorra's Co-Prince, appointed Frédéric Rose to replace Georges-François Leclerc as his personal representative. Rose assumes delegated constitutional powers immediately after taking office as Macron's chief of staff.

Key Points

  • Frédéric Rose, 52, succeeds Georges-François Leclerc as Macron's representative in Andorra.
  • Appointment via two decrees signed June 6, published in BOPA on June 7.
  • Rose also became Macron's chief of staff on June 6; previously prefect of Yvelines and Élysée security adviser.
  • Leclerc transitions to prefect of Île-de-France region.

French President Emmanuel Macron, Andorra's Co-Prince, has named Frédéric Rose, 52, as his new personal representative to the principality, succeeding Georges-François Leclerc. The appointment follows two decrees signed in Paris on 6 June and published the following day in the Boletín Oficial del Principat d'Andorra (BOPA).

The first decree ends Leclerc's tenure, which started after his own appointment appeared in the BOPA on 26 November 2024 and concluded with effect from 6 June. The second appoints Rose to carry out powers vested in the French Co-Prince by Andorra's Constitution for responsibilities that do not require Macron's personal action and are explicitly delegated to the representative.

Rose took office as Macron's chief of staff on 6 June. His prior roles include prefect of Yvelines and security adviser to Macron at the Élysée Palace from 2020 to March 2024.

Leclerc has moved to the position of prefect for the Île-de-France region.

As personal representative, Rose will act as the delegated authority and main institutional contact for the French Co-Prince in areas the Constitution allows delegation. Both decrees, signed by Macron in his dual capacity as Co-Prince and French president, entered force upon BOPA publication.
