Thursday July 13, Elisabeth Borne does not let anything show. The Prime Minister, whose future at Matignon remains uncertain, appears, according to participants in the Council of Ministers, « relax »to take stock of the first hundred days “appeasement” et « d’action » as set by the Head of State during his speech on 17 April. Emmanuel Macron, who finally chose not to speak on National Day but a little later, during the coming week, leaves it to the Matignon tenant to speak on the progress of its roadmap.
« Despite the political context at the end of the pension reform, we have remained faithful to the method which has worked for a year, and which has already enabled the final adoption of 47 texts, including 18 bills”, explains Elisabeth Borne as the meeting of members of the government ends. But the goal “to enlarge the majority”, given to him on March 22 by the President of the Republic, has not been fulfilled. At the time, Emmanuel Macron had encouraged his Prime Minister, concluding his remarks with an enigmatic: “I hope she gets there. »
The promise of appeasement was shattered by the urban violence that broke out in the country after the death of young Nahel M., shot on June 27 by a police officer during a road check in Nanterre. “This crisis admits the Prime Minister, shows once again the persistence of certain challenges and the need to continue to act, for the republican order of course, but also to ensure that the republican promise is accessible to all”, she completes during a speech that lasted less than ten minutes.

Nevertheless. ” There are several meanings to the term appeasement. relativized the spokesman of the government, Olivier Véran, Thursday, when making the report of the Council of Ministers. “Let’s not sum up the daily life of the French to these images that we saw during these nights”, he said, recalling that the republican order was eventually restored and stressing that the representatives of the trade unions, standing up against the pension reform, had resumed contact with the Prime Minister during a meeting organized , the day before, at Matignon. None of the projects on the Prime Minister’s roadmap since the end of April is ” suffering “ affirmed Mr. Véran, evoking, once again, the republican order (security, justice), full employment, the improvement of public services (school, health) and the ecological transition.
