She wants to commit to protecting the French more, cultivate more authority at school and expects better in terms of inflation. This Wednesday, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne spoke in an interview au Figaro, on the most worrying topics of the news. Summary.
Terminal ready to go “further” to protect the French
A few days after the terrorist knife attack in Paris, which put the executive under pressure in the face of the jihadist threat, the Prime Minister says she is ready to put more resources into protecting the French.
“All countries in the world are exposed to risks that must be avoided. We are mobilizing resources for these Olympic Games (in Paris) and we will mobilize more if necessary,” she says. “With the recently passed programming laws, the budgets of the Ministries of the Interior, Justice and the Armed Forces have been further strengthened. If necessary, we will go even further,” she adds.
The head of government suggests in particular that individuals like the attacker on Saturday, known to the intelligence services for his radical Islamism and his psychiatric disorders, could be the subject of “even more sustained attention”. “It is true that a significant number of people are monitored for radicalization and terrorism. There are people under psychiatric care. At the intersection of the two, we can have individuals who require even more sustained attention,” she says.
La Première campaigns for more authority at school
“Here too, we are not going to give up,” said the Prime Minister, when asked about the “unprecedented decline” in the results of French schoolchildren in the OECD’s Pisa 2022 survey on education. “It is not just France that is affected by this decline but all OECD countries. In addition, the generation that was tested did not benefit from the measures that were taken for primary school. The minister presented a plan to raise the level in French and mathematics,” wanted to defend Élisabeth Borne.
Above all, the Prime Minister campaigned to further educate the notions of behavior in society and respect for authority. “Fundamental knowledge is reading, writing, counting and behaving. I think that respecting the rules in society and authority is essential. Parents expect this from National Education,” she declared to Le Figaro. “Especially since, when some of them are not in a position to be able to teach it to their children, it is very important to be able to replace them. »
Asked about the application of the uniform at school, Élisabeth Borne said she was waiting for the end of the experiment in certain establishments before making a decision. “It is a priority to ensure that we make progress on fundamental knowledge,” she recalled.
Borne expects progress on purchasing power from 2024
In terms of purchasing power, the government says it is “vigilant”, “but the situation should improve in the coming months for the French, with the drop in inflation”, assures Élisabeth Borne.
The French “are benefiting today from the decline in fuel prices (hoping that the international situation does not hinder the movement), and soon from the increase in social benefits and pensions, as well as a catch-up on wages. All this will give them a breath of fresh air,” she assures.
The Prime Minister also claims to be working to “better protect consumers, particularly businesses, who have suffered from the surge in energy prices”, by reviewing “the framework for setting electricity prices”. For this, “the energy law, which will deal in particular with electricity prices, will be one of the first texts that we will present in 2024,” she said.
