Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that the Prime Minister he would appoint to replace Jean Castex would be "someone who is committed to the social question, the environmental question and the productive question".
"I believe in going beyond, political color does not say everything", he also underlined on a market in Cergy (Val-d'Oise) for his first trip since his re-election on Sunday, in response to a question from a journalist on the possibility of seeing a left-wing figure named.
"Jean Castex came from the right. He led one of the most social policies of the last decades, because he is also a man of heart and he has social fiber", added the head of state.
"I will appoint someone who is committed to social, environmental and productive issues," he also said.
Denormandie and Borne evoked

Since his re-election, several names have been mentioned, in particular those of the Minister of Agriculture, Julien Denormandie, and the Minister of Labor, Elisabeth Borne.
For the moment, no date has been announced for the future appointment of this Prime Minister.
