Elisabeth Borne appointed as new French PM, first woman to hold the position in 30 years
Euronews says Centrist politician Elisabeth Borne was appointed France’s new prime minister on Monday to become the second woman to hold the post in the country.
Borne, 61, who was labour minister in the previous government, succeeds Jean Castex, who resigned earlier in the day.
“Ecology, health, education, full employment, democratic revival, Europe and security: together, with the new government, we will continue to act tirelessly for the French people,” French President Emmanuel Macron stated on Twitter shortly after Borne’s appointment.
Macron and Borne are expected to appoint the full government in the coming days.
