Thursday, May 19, the new Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne explains that she is taking the time to compose her future government. In the “secret story” of the day, we take stock of the criteria and the balances to be respected in such an approach.
Thursday, May 19, Emmanuel Macron and Élisabeth Borne say they are taking the time they consider necessary to form the future government. On the side of the president, we defend ourselves. “Constituting a government is not Gérard Majax!”, believes a close friend of Emmanuel Macron. “If he goes too fast, we’ll say that Borne didn’t have a say and we’ll accuse him of hyper-presidentialism.”reports an adviser to the Elysée. Emmanuel Macron, however, has the legislative elections in mind and wishes to enter the campaign “as late as possible”according to a majority leader.
Thus, the president took more than three weeks to appoint the First minister. But the task is difficult because balances must be found between the different political sensitivities. “He is forced to serve all the families who support him and it is not easy”thinks a Modem deputy.
