French prime minister Élisabeth Borne held a Cabinet meeting in Paris on Friday to outline the priorities of her new government for the coming months, reports RFI.
Speaking after the meeting, Borne said that her Cabinet would pursue French president Emmanuel Macron's goals on tackling the cost of living, the country's health system and the climate crisis.
"The first weeks of our action must be dedicated to respond to the urgent expectations of the French people," she says, the top one being the strengthening of purchasing power.
According to Borne, Paris did succeed in "better protecting the purchasing power" of the French people "than any other country of the Eurozone," but more is needed.
She also pointed out that France has the lowest inflation rate of all EU member states.
