Update of 5/18/2022: I forgot, she is a member of the Socialist Party. Today, the JTA reports France’s new prime minister is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor who died by suicide. "... Joseph Bornstein was arrested by occupation forces [in France?] and deported to Auschwitz as a teenager in 1943 along with his brother Isaac, according to a filmed interview with Isaac Bornstein. Leon Bornstein was murdered at the Majdanek death camp in occupied Poland. Albert Bornstein, who was born in 1930, was murdered at Auschwitz. But Isaac and Joseph, both of whom served in the French resistance before their arrest ..."
This is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article about her: "... her father, Joseph Bornstein, was a Polish Jew who fled to France at the outset of the Second World War"
The JTA also reports "... Borne, who has never run for public office, is widely seen as a technocrat with little interest in media attention. Her nomination may also be temporary, pending the results of legislative elections set for next month. ..."
I am not sure this was a good choice by President Macron. Her resume seems to be quite thin! With this choice it appears he is waisting his great opportunity as a second term president of France!
