My Take
Jean Castex always struck me as an unusual choice for a head of government. Born in 1965 in Vic-Fezensac in the Gers, he served as Prime Minister of France from July 2020 to May 2022, plucked from relative obscurity by President Macron after twelve years as mayor of the small town of Prades. I find that local-government grounding interesting; he came across as a technocrat and administrator rather than a career showman. His list of honours, including the Legion of Honour and the National Order of Merit, reflects a steady institutional career. He resigned ahead of the 2022 legislative election, exiting as quietly as he arrived.
