There have been many reactions since the announcement of the choice of Elisabeth Borne as Prime Minister. The former Minister of Labor of the first five-year term of Emmanuel Macron was appointed by the president re-elected on April 24 for the function of head of government, succeeding Jean Castex. The polytechnician is facing many files, already severe criticism, but she can count on encouragement. A movie star shared his reaction.
In an elegant word written by the hand of Alain Delon to which Purepeople.com was able to gain access (see slideshow), the French cinema icon congratulated the politician with a note addressed to “Mrs. Elisabeth Borne, Prime MinisterThe 86-year-old actor, crossing out his last name as if to knock off his status as a movie legend, writes:My [sic] Lisbette, you are not Macron’s Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister of France. Alain.” A delicate attention to the one who will have to show a lot of courage as the previous and only woman who had this position, Edith Cresson, said.
Alain Delon, relatively discreet since his stroke, does not often speak about politics, certainly aware of the scope of his words in view of his notoriety. However, he supported Valérie Pécresse for the last presidential elections. In Point in June 2021, he said: “She’s the only woman I would want in the presidencyHe also had words of praise for another female politician, Angela Merkel: “You realize, a woman like that who for twenty years led a country like Germany, it’s extraordinary!“
Of Gaullist sensibility, support of Valéry Giscard d’Estaing in 1974, of Raymond Barre in 1988, Alain Delon had shocked in 2013 when he had welcomed the progress of the National Front, a position which earned him to resign from his functions of the Miss Committee France. Appearing close to Nicolas Sarkozy and supporting François Fillon in difficulty in the polls in 2017, he did not vote in the second round as he confided to Vanity Fair. Signatory of a forum to save the planet in Le Monde, he justified himself to the daily for his position: “It’s true, I rarely sign. The reason is quite simple. […] Men – I’m talking about those jerks of guys – are killing the world.“
