who to replace Élisabeth Borne?

At just 34 years old, he is the favorite of the predictions. Gabriel Attal, Minister of National Education, would become the youngest head of government of the Fifth Republic. A dazzling promotion which would arouse jealousies behind the scenes. A Macronist from the start, he was first a government spokesperson before obtaining the National Education portfolio last July, a stated priority of Emmanuel Macron. His first decisions at the ministry quickly earned him the approval of a large majority of French people. A popularity rating which is today one of its main assets.

Response Tuesday morning

Another name anticipated, that of Julien Denormandie, an engineer by training who worked as a senior civil servant in Bercy. He too is an early supporter of Emmanuel Macron, never elected, he is less known to the general public. He successively held the positions of Secretary of State for Social Cohesion, Minister of Housing and then of Agriculture. He now works in the private sector. Finally, Sébastien Lecornu, discreet Minister of the Armed Forces, is also in the short-list. Coming from the Republicans, he entered the government in 2017. Having become Emmanuel Macron’s right-hand man, he participated in negotiations for the release of French hostages held by Hamas. The suspense to know the new Prime Minister should end Tuesday morning.
