Yesterday (Monday), French President Emmanuel Macron appointed Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Elizabeth Borne as Prime Minister.

She is the second woman to hold the post in France since 1992. The 61-year-old pit inherited Jean Castax, who submitted his resignation.

The pit has a particularly interesting history.

She was born on April 18, 1961 in Paris to Joseph Bornstein and Marguerite Laszna, a French pharmacist from Normandy.

Her father was a Polish Jew, whose family fled the Nazis in 1939 to France.

During World War II, her father was part of the French resistance movement, and was deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp in 1944.

He survived and in 1950 received French citizenship.

Bor's parents ran a pharmacy.

After her father died in 1972 when she was 11, she became a "student of the nation", a status that gave her benefits and grants from the state distributed to children whose parents were injured or killed during a war, terrorist attack or while serving in the French public service.

Bor was thus able to obtain a full scholarship for her studies.

She had previously spoken of the fact that her mother was a single mother and said that "it was not always easy. I lost my father when I was very young, and only my mother was left to me. She had two daughters, but she had no real income."

She said that when she first granted a citizen his citizenship order, she was very excited.

In 2015, she said in an interview that "I, the daughter of a statusless refugee who became a Frenchman only in 1950, grant someone citizenship. It's integration."

Bor has served in public positions in France for decades, but is not seen as someone who will overshadow Macron.

She is experienced in negotiating with trade unions, a valuable experience while Macron intends to implement pension and welfare system reforms, which could lead to protests again.

An engineer by profession, Borre previously headed Paris's state-owned transport company, RATP, under left-wing mayor Bertrand Delanoia.

She demonstrated loyalty to Macron during his first tenure, when he served under him as Minister of Transport, Minister of the Environment and finally Minister of Labor from 2020.

Bor, who defines herself as a "woman of the left," also served as an adviser to ministers under François Mitterrand and an adviser to Socialist Environment Minister Segolan Royal in 2014.
