Renaissance MP Gilles Le Gendre was the guest of Europe 1 this Tuesday morning. At the microphone of Alexandre Le Mer, the elected Parisian returned to the future reshuffle that Emmanuel Macron is preparing. If Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne will remain in office, the rest of the government is still waiting to be fixed on its fate. For Gilles le Gendre, the priority is above all to breathe new life into the five-year term.
Rumors multiplied in the press. Finally, Emmanuel Macron announced that Elisabeth Borne would remain Prime Minister. The Head of State plans to change certain members of the government, to breathe new life into the five-year term.
“It was the best choice. The Prime Minister has demonstrated her skills, her resilience, her loyalty to the President of the Republic. So it’s a good choice”, confides Gilles Le Gendre at the microphone of Europe 1. ” But the essential point is: what does the President of the Republic want to do with his five-year term”, he continues.
The 2027 campaign in sight
Because “we are at the half-time of this five-year term” assures the elected Parisian. “He’s already got a little over a year behind him. There’s only a little over a year left to drive real transformations. After the Olympics, at the end of 2024, we’ll go from in a completely different sequence marked by the beginnings of the presidential campaign. And at that time, it will be very hard to drive real transformations.”
“It is important that the president tell us how he wants to succeed in this five-year term and how he wants to avoid extreme, radical, populist forces imposing their law in 2027”, underlines Gilles Le Gendre, who concludes: “We have just lived one year of crisis. Me, I was not elected deputy, I did not support Emmanuel Macron to be the one of the majority who manages the crises well. Yes, the President of the Republic managed the crises well, but now, we must attack their origins”, alarmed the deputy, now calling for more freedom in Parliament and better work on issues of purchasing power, but also ecological transition.
