Monday, June 27, Elisabeth Borne continues to work to form her new government by trying to find an agreement with the different parties that make up the French political landscape. The task already looks daunting.

Since the end of the legislative elections, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne has been at work to be able to compose a new government that would bring several parties together and offer Emmanuel Macron an absolute majority. To find a OK, but not at any price if we are to believe the Minister of the Economy, Bruno the Mayor. “Compromise is not denial and believe me, I am viscerally attached to us keeping the line of this project,” he said.

The Prime Minister continues to consult the various political forces which do not show, for the moment, an overflowing desire to ally with the presidential majority.
