A few days before the examination of the highly contested pension reform in public session at the National Assembly, the Prime Minister of the government Élisabeth Borne was invited to the political program “L’Événement” (France 2) on Thursday February 2 2023.
An interview conducted by the Caroline Roux journalist during which the politician stuck to her guns, firmly defending the ambition to raise the age of the end of career equal to 64… Only here, at the end of the interview, Elisabeth Borne was taken by surprise.
At the question : “Will the apprenticeship terms be taken into account for long careers? », Emmanuel Macron’s right arm felt completely trapped and failed to respond correctly to the host.
After a few seconds of reflection, Elisabeth Borne therefore found herself obliged to admit that she did not master this subject 100% and that she was, therefore, unable to give a suitable answer to his interlocutor.
Plateau discomfort
“Ah… It’s a glue. I do not have the answer. What is clear… What I can tell you is that today, this is clearly the case. Has that always been the case? I don’t know how to tell you, but I’ll give you the answer.” let go of the Prime Minister, helpless in the face of Caroline Roux.
To counterbalance this hesitation, Élisabeth Borne concluded on the subject by declaring: “For me, the apprenticeship quarters are quarters in which you are employed by a company. It is in any case the case today, was it not the case in the past? I don’t think so, but I prefer to check.
A passage on the set of France 2 which did not convince Internet users to believe the many live tweets on this subject… “We need to amplify” the mobilization on February 7 also judged Thursday evening the leader of the CFDT Laurent Berger, who deplored the lack of “empathy” expressed by Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne on France 2
On hardship at work, @Elisabeth_Borne is as convincing as the owner of the Titanic telling you that the ship cannot sink 10 minutes after hitting the iceberg. #Levent#PensionReform

Elisabeth Borne, 62, is living proof that you have to stop at 60. We see the result.
