A general policy speech is always a decisive moment for a Prime Minister. The task was delicate for Elisabeth Borne on Wednesday July 6 when making her speech. It is weakened by a relative majority. The executive will have to find compromises to convince on each of its bills.
Elisabeth Borne’s baptism of fire took place on Wednesday July 6 during her general policy speech. Without a majority absolute, forced to find compromises to govern, the First Minister revealed herself. During almost an hour and a half, she set out her priorities. Renationalize EDF to control dependency energy of France, aim for full employment, recruit caregivers and magistrates. The thorny issue of pensions caused an uproar in the Assembly.
As expected, the vote of confidence of the deputies was not requested at the end of the speech, in spite of the insistence of the opposition. Marine Le Pen, president of the National Rally group at the National Assembly, questioned him on this subject. Same reproach from the Nudes who tabled a motion of censure on Wednesday in order to bring down the government. After the deputies, Elisabeth Borne will deliver her speech again to the senators in the evening.
