Her knowledge of the state, her difficult reforms and her experience at the Ministry of Ecological Transition enabled Elisabeth Borne to be appointed Prime Minister on Monday, May 16.
It was a long-awaited nomination. On Monday May 16, 2022, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, appointed Élisabeth Borne as Prime Minister. The 61-year-old former polytechnician rose through the ranks one by one before obtaining this position. She was boss of the RATP and was part of several ministerial cabinets. She also served as prefect.
First Minister of Transport, she distinguished herself with the reform of the SNCF. She then replaced François de Rugy at short notice as Minister of Ecological Transition. In the government of Jean Castex, she held the position of Minister of Labor. It was she who led the reform of unemployment insurance. Whether on the right with Laurent Wauquiez, at the National Rally with Marine Le Pen or on the left with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, his appointment is criticized.
