Macron names Senegal-born spokesperson in mini reshuffle
Paris - French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed his Senegalese-born media adviser as government spokesperson, one of three new faces for his cabinet as it gears up for the European Parliament elections next month.
"France has given me a lot. Today, it's my turn to give something back," Ndiaye said at a handover ceremony in Paris on Monday, praising her parents for helping her and her sisters "break through glass ceilings". "It's a challenge for this engaging young woman, whose path has been quite different from that of a typical government minister," he added.
