For Marine Le Penthe choice of Elisabeth Borne, formerly Minister of Labor and member of the presidential majority, demonstrates the “inability to collect by Emmanuel Macron. She also denounces “willingness” Of the president “to continue its policy of contempt, deconstruction of the state, social destruction, tax racketeering and laxity”.
On his side, Jean-Luc Melenchon called to “make another choice” in the legislative elections: “There is a possibility for the French to dismiss Madame Borne” he hammered in a press conference, that of cohabitation by winning a majority of Nupe deputies. To convince, the leader of La France insoumise proposed “a debate” to the Prime Minister to “discuss the results of her policy”. He holds the former Minister of Labor responsible for the “reduction of the allowance of a million unemployed, abolition of regulated gas tariffs, postponement for 10 years of the end of nuclear power, opening up to competition from SNCF and RATP”. With Elisabeth Borne in charge, he fears “a new season of social abuse”.
Valerie Pécressethe unfortunate LR candidate for the presidency, conversely sends him his “Congratulations Republican” and underlines his journey of commitment “indisputable” and “necessary to become the second female Prime Minister of our country”.
