While rumors of a reshuffle are rife, Elisabeth Borne is rolling out her agenda. She will meet the social partners this Wednesday to set the social agenda for the coming months. Proof that she intends to step over the course of “100 days” set by Emmanuel Macron.
Before her meeting today with the social partners, Elisabeth Borne brought together the parliamentarians of the majority on Monday evening for a reception at Matignon. A tradition at the end of the session, but while doubt remains about its maintenance rue de Varenne, in front of her troops, the Prime Minister displayed her serenity.

Dressed in a pink dress, Elisabeth Borne appeared smiling, sparkling even in the eyes of a participant who described her at the same time as “in combat mode”.
During a short speech of about ten minutes, the Prime Minister explained that she had met the objectives set by Emmanuel Macron, while planning for the future. “The acceleration desired by the President of the Republic for 100 days has been there. A dynamic has been launched, and will be able to amplify in the months to come”, she declared in particular to the executives of the majority.
Gérald Darmanin or Bruno Le Maire as Prime Minister?
A way to install as obvious the idea that she will stay at Matignon and that she will unfold her agenda as if nothing had happened, despite the rumor that circulates of a possible reshuffle. “Emmanuel Macron never says anything, it’s how he works. He leaves doubt until the last moment”, explains an early walker who noted the absence Monday evening of several ministers like Gérald Darmanin and Bruno Le Mayor. Two names frequently cited as potential replacements for Elisabeth Borne.
