the French president, Emmanuel Macronhas chosen for the position the until now incumbent of Labor, 61 years old and from the socialist orbitaccording to the Elysee has communicated this Monday.
Previously, the hitherto Prime Minister Jean Castex formalized his resignation before Macron, a necessary procedure to carry out a expected replacement and for which Borne started as a favorite.
Castex’s departure left the way clear for a long-anticipated cabinet makeover. Macron himself has already advanced after his re-election in April that his new government team would be more “concentrated” and would include fewer ministers.
After the low turnout in the presidential elections, in which the far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen, was closer than ever to reaching the Elysee, Macron needs to send the message to the electorate that he has heard their frustrations and had already indicated that he was looking for a figure with green and social policy credentials to place the cabinet front.
