In the President’s mind, she was not the first choice. Elisabeth Borne, Prime Minister, lets her emotions and thoughts show little in public, never raises her voice and uses a unifying tone. Is the discreet technician imposing her style?
In the hemicycle, the word dialogue comes up tirelessly. For the budget, hours of debate and a 49-3 to pass the law. A desire for dialogue that seduces in his camp, testifies a Renaissance deputy: “She doesn’t bring it back, she’s a needy. She spent time on the phone with Pouyanné and Martinez.” However, it is not unanimous among opponents of the government. “Macron does the same thing as her, they pretend to listen”tempers an RN executive.
Elisabeth Borne, who cut her teeth in left-wing cabinets, is not however appreciated on the side of La France insoumise, which through a framework, makes it known: “No, but who told you that she was on the left? Look at all the reforms she made. That of unemployment insurance, in particular, had saved 2 billion on the backs of precarious people.” Despite mistrust from Gérald Darmanin and Bruno Le Maire, she imposes her method. A deputy from the Republicans measures his ambitions: “You have to be careful, she doesn’t look like much but she sees far. Above all, don’t underestimate her. She’s not just a technocrat monk-soldier.”
