Elisabeth Borne is once again on the ground, in Île-de-France, to talk about employment and learning. In contact with young apprentices, the Prime Minister promotes her record as Minister of Labour. A way to show that she is still at the helm, while the critics fuse, even in her own camp.
A trip to Bailly-Romainvilliers in Île-de-France, to talk about employment and learning, but not only. This Friday, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne is once again on the ground, a way for her to try to save her place when the majority is in a bad patch. Elisabeth Borne wants to show that she is not in the hot seat and that she is at the helm. Even if she assures that this is not the objective of her displacement.
“It’s not a way of showing, it’s the fact that I’m on task, that we’re in action, that there are subjects to be dealt with, that we’re dealing with them and in particular the extension of these learning aids. They ended on June 30. So it was now that they had to be extended”, she reacts.
See if there is a method of working with the oppositions
Still, the tenant of Matignon goes on the offensive, multiplies trips and interviews, while she is challenged even in her own camp. Some even go so far as to predict a quick start. She is also continuing consultations by telephone with the presidents of parliamentary groups. Objective: to see if there can be a method of working with the oppositions or if it will be necessary to seek a majority text by text.
A form of wait-and-see
For the moment, there is a form of wait-and-see attitude. The oppositions do not seem to want to cooperate with the government. Elisabeth Borne also leaves essential questions unanswered. We do not yet know, for example, if it will engage the responsibility of the government during its declaration of general policy, scheduled in theory for the first week of July. A sign of a certain feverishness of the executive, according to the opponents, and which could pose a real question of legitimacy.
