New French PM Élisabeth Borne’s Desert Hiking Passion Raises Eyebrows

Élisabeth Borne, the new French Prime Minister, is a fan of long hikes in the desert, and does not shy away from this pleasure during her stays in Morocco.
There are small things you may (not) have known about the new French Prime Minister, such as her passion for desert crossings. In Morocco or Jordan, Élisabeth Borne, 61, finds her true "rejuvenation" in "long hikes in the middle of the desert," reveals Huffingtonpost. But these stays in Morocco are still not viewed favorably.
In 2019, while Matignon had asked its ministers to "run the media to ensure the pedagogy of the pension reform" at the origin of numerous SNCF strike movements, the former Minister of Ecological and Solidarity Transition had flown to Marrakech where she had spent sunny holidays, reported Le Parisien. This trip had provoked lively reactions from the opposition.
