BREAKING: French President Emmanuel Macron names Jean Castex, who coordinated France’s virus reopening strategy, as the country’s new prime minister.

FILE - In this May 20, 2020 file photo, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe arrives for a meeting in Paris. A new French prime minister will be appointed on Friday to replace Edouard Philippe, who has resigned amid an expected government reshuffle, the French presidency announced.

Castex, 55, is a career public servant who has worked with multiple governments. France’s gradual reopening plan has been seen as generally successful so far.In an interview given to several local newspapers on Thursday, Macron, said he is seeking a “new path” to rebuild the country for the two remaining years of his term.“I will need to make choices to lead down the path,” he said.

Before that, Macron’s pro-business policies, widely seen as favoring the wealthier, had been hampered by the yellow vest economic movement against perceived social injustice. This winter, weeks of strikes and street demonstrations against a planned pension overhaul disrupted the country. The unemployment rate that fell from 9.2% at the beginning of Macron’s term in 2017 to 7.6% earlier this year — its lowest level since 2008 — is now expected to increase steadily.

He put an emphasis on creating new jobs with climate-oriented policies including renovation of old buildings and greener transport and industries.

Smoke & mirrors. What a shame and catastrophe France has become. This is like the Mc Hammer famous dance; doing lots shakes and movements but actually remains in one spot. At some point emperor macron will be thrown out!

All need to follow Iran's lead even if not doing well at enforcement & run court cases everywhere against President Trump convicting him making points of the way he is part of a collective of mutineers by disobedience using dictator rights including mine they aren't allowed too.

And he wonders why people hate him

Wonder if the prime minister was friends with Ghislaine Maxwell 🤔

You know who’s not being hard hit Macron’s wife
