| New Prime Minister of France |
President Emmanuel
Macron who was installed yesterday has named Edourd Philippe as France’s new
Prime Minister. The 46 years old mayor of the Northern Port of Le Havre is a
Centre-right republican yet won Macron’s confidence for the top job. It should be noted that Philippe is said to be
a right hand man to Alain Juppe. Before he became mayor, he is said to have
worked in the private sector and co-wrote a political thriller with Gilles
Boyer. His appointment to the top job has watered down speculations and
expectations that President Emmanuel Macron was going to name woman as Prime
Minister. However, reports say there is diversified political opinion over
Philippe’s appointment. BBC Website quotes Alain Juppe as saying that the new
PM is “man of great talent”. Yet Republican party Secretary General Bernard
Accoyer has a different view, “ will this new Prime Minister support the
President’s En March candidates or candidates of his political family”, he is
quoted to have asked.
