The new French Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne has a tragic family storybuilt during World War II and Nazism

Borne is very careful about his private life. He comes from a Polish family, of Jewish descent. When Nazism arrived, the family group fled to southern France, where they found refuge in Toulouse, Montauban and Nimes.

His father, Joseph Borne, originally Bornstein, was a Polish-born resistance fighter in France, who survived the hell of the Auschwitz concentration camp, but he never recovered from the traumatic experience.

He committed suicide when his daughter, now premier, was 11 years old. Two of his brothers and his father died in Auschwitz after all the men in the family were arrested in Grenoble. They were released by the Americans on April 11, 1945. Only two survived.

Joseph converted to Christianity and married a pharmacist, Marguerite in Calvados. He had two daughters and one of them was Elisabeth, born in 1961.

Upon the death of her father, Elisabeth became a “ward of the Nation”, a status granted by France to war victimsfrom terrorist attacks or the families of those killed in public service.

He received a scholarship for his entire studies, which he continued with honors until he received his engineering degree. Back then the family was called Borne. He was the son of a stateless refugee, who became one of the smartest public servants in France.

The legislative campaign is about to begin

The law is already in place. These elections will change or not the Borne government into an interim government or not. There was time to present the candidates this Friday until 6:00 pm A very political day in France.

Marine Le Pen, who came second on the ballot, has already set out to campaign in Pas de Calais, his territory in northern France.

Clémence Guette, who worked on Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s program during the presidential election, considered it possible that he would become head of government in June.

Elizabeth Borne he’s only been here a month. We look forward to making sure Jean-Luc Mélenchon is in Matignon. It’s an interim government, “Guette advanced on Friday. France’s leader Insumisa called in April for the French to” elect him as prime minister. “

“I want us to know the program of this new majority that is advancing fully masked, without saying what it will do”, judged Friday in Europe 1 the first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure. .

“When I saw the doubts about the appointment of Elisabeth Borne, or Catherine Vautrin … We found out through some indecisiveness and we informed the journalists that the president was in doubt until Sunday night. Not even he knows who the best person is. can adapt to the policy it intends to carry out, “he criticized.

Socialist former president Francois Hollande will not be a candidate of legislators in Correze, his region.

For Eric Zemmour, the former anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant candidate, Macron “prepare France” for Mélenchon.

“Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s Emmanuel Macron is preparing France. Both for the arrival of the Creole ‘new man'”, Eric Zemmour forwarded to the columns of the newspaper Le Figaro, where he worked for a long time.

“The only thing Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants is for him to be born through revolution. When Emmanuel Macron wants to be a father to him with an attitude of anticipation and demographic fatalism. There is a difference in chronology, but not in ideology ”, he continued judging.

Presidential candidate Zemmour won 7% of the votes in the first round and intends to be elected for legislative elections in the 4th district of Var., Exactly in St. Tropez.

If Mélenchon becomes prime minister, his first step will be “the price freezing of basic needs. “
