62-year old Borne is the second female prime minister in history of France. Generally regarded as technocrat and pragmatic, she was previously associated with Socialist Party and its presidential candidate Segolene Royal. In 2017, before the presidential elections, he joined Macron's centrist Republic on March party and later served in number of cabinets.
Her term as prime minister was affected by Renaissance party losing majority in National Assembly during June 2022 parliamentary elections, thus forcing her to run minority government and push legislative agenda by making ad hoc compromises with various right-wing parties. The latest of such compromises included new harsh immigration laws, that had infuriated many of Macron's hard core supporters.
