Thirty years after Edith Cresson, Elisabeth Borne is, since Monday evening May 16, the second woman of the Fifth Republic to access Matignon. His name had been circulating insistently for several weeks.
A woman at Matignon. Thirty years after Edith Cresson, Elisabeth Borne is the second woman to become Prime Minister, Monday May 16. The one who was his head in government for almost two years welcomes him warmly. It is 4 p.m. a little earlier in the afternoon, when Jean Castex leaves Matignon, heading for the Élysée, followed by a swarm of cameras, to submit his resignation to the Head of State.
An hour later, the Élysée announces that his resignation has indeed been accepted. Emmanuel Macron then pays tribute to his now ex-Prime Minister on social networks. It is now at ELisabeth Borne to prove herself at Matignon and also in public opinion. On the side of the opposition, on the left as on the right, we denounce the choice of Emmanuel Macron. The Prime Minister must now embody the line set by Emmanuel Macron: more ecological, more social and geared towards employment.
