Can Elisabeth Borne stay at Matignon? The question is valid, after the severe defeat of the presidential majority in the second round of the legislative elections, Sunday June 19, and the narrow victory of the head of government, elected in Calvados with 52.46% of the vote.
Within the government, it is believed that “the subject is not there”, declared the Minister of Agriculture and deputy of Loir-et-Cher, Marc Fesneau, on franceinfo Monday morning. Ditto for government spokesperson Olivia Grégoire, who told France Inter: “As I speak, the question has not arisen. We’ll see in the next few hours.”

Unsurprisingly, the tone was not the same on the Nupes side. “Elisabeth Borne must leave, it seems obvious to me. In any case, her speech on general policy will be in the minority in this Assembly”, said Alexis Corbière on France Inter on Monday. guest of BFM TVMEP and member of La France insoumise Emmanuel Bompard also felt that Elisabeth Borne “should go”estimating that eher “has failed to convince a majority of deputies in the National Assembly. It therefore does not have the political legitimacy to govern.” Same story on the side of Louis Aliot, the vice-president of the RN. “She is too weak to be able to stay”he judged on France Inter.
