Elisabeth Borne hangs on. Insensitive to the rumor of his imminent ousting, pretending to ignore criticism of his profile as a robot woman or too “technician”, the Prime Minister makes her way, trying to show that she holds the road in times of parliamentary storm. Saturday June 25, almost a week after the thunderclap caused by legislative elections which only offered a relative majority to the presidential camp, the tenant of Matignon must meet with the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron , to inform him of the state of progress of the conversations held with the leaders of the opposition groups in the National Assembly.
