Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePARIS — President Emmanuel Macron has named Labor Minister Elisabeth Borne as his new prime minister, the first woman to head the French government in over 30 years, the Elysee says in a statement.
The Elysee says that Borne will now be charged with forming a government. Until now, the only woman to head a French cabinet was Edith Cresson, from May 1991 to April 1992, under president Francois Mitterrand.
