President Emmanuel Macron (46) wants to appoint the new Prime Minister of France on Tuesday morning. The presidential palace announced this in Paris on Monday evening. Eighteen months after the start of his second term, Macron decided on Monday to replace previous Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne (62).
After days of speculation, Borne submitted the resignation of the centrist government in the evening, after a meeting with Macron at the presidential palace. Macron is expected to retain many of the heavyweights from the previous government and may only make new appointments in some places.
Young top candidate
The promising candidate for Borne’s successor is the political whiz kid Gabriel Attal, who was known to the French as a government spokesman and last headed the Ministry of Education at the age of 34. Attal is considered quite popular and has a reputation for being able to discuss the issue with representatives of other political camps.
Acting Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu is also traded. However, the 37-year-old is reportedly too conservative for some in the Macron camp. Opportunities are also attributed to 43-year-old former Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie, who, like Macron, comes from the left and is an early companion of the president.

Macron, who no longer has an absolute majority in the National Assembly since the 2022 parliamentary elections and is dependent on votes from the opposition, is aiming for a liberation strike. Ultimately, he passed the highly controversial pension reform last year without a final vote in the National Assembly. Most recently, there were problems in December with the new immigration law, another important project of the president. (SDA)
