France has a new premier, Elisabeth Borne: “I dedicate this appointment to all the girls”

PARIS – Elisabeth Borne is the new French premier. After weeks of indiscretions, Emmanuel Macron has chosen the current Minister of Labor, sixty-one, to lead the new government that inaugurates the second term at the Elysée. She is the first woman named in Matignon, seat of the executive, since Edith Cresson’s resignation in 1992, the only precedent of the Fifth Republic that left not only good memories.
