French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne resigned Monday following recent political turmoil over immigration, paving the way for President Emmanuel Macron to seek fresh momentum by appointing a new government in coming days. The shakeup was widely seen as an attempt by the 46-year-old centrist Macron to head off looming lame-duck status, the AP reports. Macron’s term is to end in 2027, and he won’t be able to run for president for a consecutive third term in line with the French Constitution. In her resignation letter, Borne suggested she resigned at Macron’s request, citing the president’s “will” to “appoint a new prime minister.”
Borne’s resignation followed the passage late last month of contentious immigration legislation backed by Macron aimed at strengthening the government’s ability to deport some foreigners, among other measures. Macron’s centrist alliance was able to pass the measure only after making a deal with the conservative Republicans party, which many observers saw as the government’s shift to the right. The tough negotiations and heated parliament debate raised questions over the ability of Borne’s government to pass future major bills. Borne, 62, was appointed in May 2022 after Macron’s reelection for a second term. She was France’s second female prime minister.
see, mon ami? … we’re doing ‘something’ … we’re rearranging the deck chairs!
no wonder they got their ass kicked in WWI & WWII
… & we are, all of a sudden (under d’rat rule), doing the same damned thing
“vive la revolution!”
I’M ASSUMING THAT THIS GROWING NUMBER OF COUNTRIES WILL BE DEMANDING THAT WE BAIL THEM OUT???
IN A TWISTED WAY, LIKE THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO IS DEMANDING MORE FROM US ON OUR OPEN BORDER AND, IN ADDITION, $20 BILLION???
OUR BRAIN-ADDLED FAKE POTUS WILL BE ALL OVER IT
LIKE GEORGE CARLIN SAID, WE DON’T FUCKING MATTER
The position of Prime Minister, in France, is largely symbolic…as is her resignation.
He probably retired with millions in bribes he got from Qatar and Iran.
