Emmanuel Macron put an end to the doubt surrounding the maintenance of the current Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, on Saturday June 25, by instructing her to compose a new government. Will she be able to convince to set up an executive of right, center and left?
With whom will Emmanuel Macron lead France, without an absolute majority in the Assembly? In an interview given to AFP on Saturday June 25, the president set the perimeter. “It will be communists in LR”, he said, while closing the door to RN and LFI deputies. What do party bosses say? “We are ready to discuss, to vote, to support any measure that will go in the direction of increasing salaries and increasing pensions”said Fabien Roussel, the national secretary of the French Communist Party.
The Republicans say they are officially in opposition. Behind the scenes, some, although in the minority, are making other calculations. “If we block the institutions, we will pay cash! Macron will end up dissolving and who will be the judge responsible? It’s us”, commented an LR deputy. The main point of agreement between the presidential majority and Les Républicains is the raising of the retirement age to 65 years.
François Bayrou, president of the MoDem and historic ally of Emmanuel Macron, does not believe in the alliance of parties. “I do not see political forces elected in the opposition entering the majority. They would have the feeling, and it would be justified, of denying themselves”he said, Sunday, June 26, on BFMTV.
