“A risk for our country”
“Multiple sensitivities will have to be combined and good compromises built in order to act in the service of France. The French are calling on us to come together for the country,” she added. Elisabeth Borne admitted that the political situation was “unprecedented” because “the National Assembly has never experienced such a configuration under the Fifth Republic”. “This situation constitutes a risk for our country in view of the challenges we have to face both nationally and internationally,” she said.
“With the President of the Republic, we are going to work in dialogue listening to the French and the living forces in all the territories”, she promised.
