Catherine Field: Paris Correspondent on the resignation of French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and what comes next

from Holiday Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has resigned.  It comes as President Emmanuel Macron seeks to give a new impetus to his second mandate, ahead of European parliament elections and the Paris Olympics this summer.  He hasn't yet named the 62-year-old's successor.  The change in Prime Minister comes after a year marred by political crises triggered by contested reforms of the pension system and immigration laws.  Paris Correspondent Catherine Field told Tim Dower that the question raised is, if Macron chooses someone much younger, will they be the one to carry on the torch when he can't stand in 2027.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
