So far, the head of Labor is the second woman to hold the second most important position in France. Borne replaces conservative Jean Castex, who, as expected, formalized his resignation as prime minister of France on Monday after nearly two years in office.

Madam Prime Minister,
Ecology, health, education, plein-emploi, renaissance démocratique, Europe et sécurité: ensemble, avec le nouveau gouvernement, nous continuarons d’agir sans relâche pour les Françaises et les Français.— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) May 16, 2022
Borne – who also headed the ministries of Ecology and Transport during Macron’s first term (2017-2022) – replaces the conservative Jean Castexwho, as expected, formalized his resignation as prime minister of France this Monday after nearly two years in office.
Macron, who renewed his post last April, beating far-right Marine Le Pen by a narrow margin than in 2017, chose Borne, 61, to give the head of government a more social and environmental profile.
Borne becomes the second prime minister in the history of France, after the short passage of Edith Cressonwho was in Matignon for only eleven months (from May 1991 to April 1992), during the second term of the Socialist Francois Mitterrand
The transfer of powers between Castex and Borne will take place almost immediately.
Macron thanked Castex in a message for his work over the past 22 months: “He has acted with passion and dedication in the service of France. Let us be proud of the work done and the results achieved together.”
