Borne will replace Jean Castes, who announced today that he has resigned from Macron, who has accepted it.
The reorganization of the government was a welcome step to give a new impetus to Macrona’s Republique En Marche party (REM, Republic! REM) ahead of next month’s parliamentary elections.
Until now, the only woman to take up the post of French Prime Minister was Edith Cresson. She held this position from May 1991 to April 1992 under President François Mitterrand.
