Elisabeth Borne does not consider it “necessary” to separate from Marlène Schiappa

Marlène Schiappa, implicated in the management of the Marianne Fund to fight against separatism, is she in the hot seat? As rumors of a reshuffle intensify, Elisabeth Borne judged, Sunday June 11, on France 3 “not necessary” to separate from her.

“She is very committed, she was also in the previous five-year term” as Minister Delegate for Citizenship, “He’s someone who has a lot of personality, who wants to get involved” And “I don’t think it’s necessary” that she leaves the government, she said in the program “Sunday in politics”.

The former chief of staff of Marlène Schiappa conceded on Wednesday before a parliamentary commission that the minister had intervened to dismiss an association from the Marianne Fund, while denying any favoritism in the selection of projects.

Sébastien Jallet was heard by the Senate inquiry committee on this controversial fund, the day after the resignation of Christian Gravel, the head of the Interministerial Committee for the Prevention of Delinquency and Radicalization (CIPDR), an administrative structure managing this fund at within the Ministry of the Interior.

“We work in confidence with the President of the Republic”

The Prime Minister, whose replacement at Matignon is also mentioned, also assured that the “French concerns, they do not stop, the answers we provide, they do not stop” to July 14. This is the 100-day deadline during which President Emmanuel Macron asked him to draw up a roadmap to relaunch executive action after the pension crisis.

“We work in confidence with the President of the Republic. (…) I am at work with my government, I presented a roadmap with very concrete things for the French”, added Elisabeth Borne, who will face a 17th motion of censure in the National Assembly on Monday. But this motion carried by Nupes has little chance of being adopted.
