Macron names edouard philippe as french prime minister #

A current event!

Yes, you're correct. On May 15, 2017, Emmanuel Macron, the newly elected President of France, named Édouard Philippe as the Prime Minister of France. Philippe, a member of the Republicans party, was a relatively unknown figure at the time, but he was chosen for his moderate stance and his ability to work with Macron's government.

Philippe's appointment was seen as a key part of Macron's efforts to build a centrist government, and he played a crucial role in implementing Macron's policies, including labor market reforms and a reduction in the number of government ministries.

Philippe served as Prime Minister until July 2020, when he resigned and was replaced by Jean Castex.
