In the past months, the nation has been rattled by unrest over a contested pension reform and then rioting sparked by a policeman's killing of a teen of North African descent.
PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron is keeping his prime minister in place, his staff has said, ending weeks of speculation about a possible reset after successive crises shaking his government.
Under France's political tradition, prime ministers rarely last longer than a few years, with Macron on his third since taking power in 2017.Persistent rumours had centred on Macron naming law-and-order Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin as Borne's successor, in part as a recognition of his handling of the riots which eased after tens of thousands police were deployed.
Borne said she will proceed with a minor reshuffle of her cabinet this week, with junior minister Marlene Schiappa -- under fire over her alleged mishandling of a public fund -- and Education Minister Pap Ndiaye likely to be the first to go, according to observers.
