Monday May 16, 2022, Emmanuel Macron accepted the resignation of Jean Castex. Elisabeth Borne was chosen to replace him as Prime Minister.
Cyril Graziani, journalist France Télévisions, explains on set why Emmanuel Macron chose Élisabeth Borne for the post of Prime Minister. “She is a woman, labeled on the left, who does not scare the right”, explains the journalist, reporting the words of a close friend of the President of the Republic. She’s a techno woman, not very political but she’s a loyal woman, explains Cyril Graziani. The appointment of Elisabeth Borne would actually be a signal sent by Emmanuel Macron to the socio-democrats who refuse the Nupes of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The first test of the brand new Prime Minister will be the legislative elections on 12th and 19th June next. She will be responsible for leading this battle as majority leader. In addition, she will be a candidate in Calvados. She will also have to manage another urgent issue: that of purchasing power, the first concern of the French.
