The French premier Elisabeth Borne he tendered his resignation to the president Emmanuel Macron, who accepted them. The news became official after the interview of approximately an hour between theElysium (the second meeting between the two in less than 24 hours). Macron’s intention of a government reshuffle was known: the president wants to try to relaunch a second mandate that has so far been uphill and strengthen the ties of a majority appeared split e frayed in the last test, that of the passing of the immigration law. We are awaiting his announcement successor. The range of candidates is reduced to three, with the 34enne Gabriel StopMinister of Education and a man very close to Macron, in clear advantage in the last hours. The other two hypothetical candidates are the Minister of the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornand the former minister Julien Denormandie.

Borne, given up as a goner already in the reshuffle at the beginning of the summer, instead held out in his place until the beginning of 2024. In recent days, however, his farewell had become almost predictable, with the French media already launched into the “totopremier”. In pole position is the young Minister of Education Attal, protégé of the president. Who, however, would have presidential ambitions for the 2027 who would risk burning with an experience as a prime minister. The other names in question are the former minister (of the House, then of Agriculture) Denormandie and the current minister of the Armed Forces, Lecornu. If the former, a longtime close friend of the president, would be able to patch things up with the gauchenow firmly on a war footing, the second – ex dei Republicans – would allow Macron to dialogue with the right to counter one Marine Le Pen which the polls always give a clear lead with the Rassemblement National at European. An appointment of the Minister of Economy is not ruled out either, Bruno Le Maire, to the post of prime minister, which he has never hidden his aspiration for. But in such a delicate moment for the president, looking for a relaunch, his profile is not that of a very faithful of the head of the Elysée and his chances are reduced.
The letter of resignation – The now former French Prime Minister in his resignation letter urged us to “carry forward the reforms“, considering it a task “more necessary than ever”. In the letter sent to Macron, Borne underlined how “passionate” of his work in Matignon. The former prime minister assured that she was guided “by the constant concern, which we share, to obtain quick results e tangible for our fellow citizens.” He also explained that he had taken note of the “will” of the head of state to “appoint a new prime minister“, suggesting that the decision to resign It wasn’t his initiative.
