PARIS – French Prime Minister Jean Castex is expected to hand over his seat to France’s new prime minister at a ceremony held at the prime mimister’s office in Paris.
Castex, who presented his resignation earlier on Monday, cleared the way for a long-awaited cabinet overhaul by Macron who after his re-election in April has said his new government team should be more “concentrated”, with fewer ministers.
