Neither enlargement nor convergences, but a tenacious impression of deja vu. A few minutes after the announcement by press release of the composition of the new Borne government, Monday, July 4, the oppositions had a great time mocking a reshuffle in the form of “drift of warm water on a molten volcano”. The expression is from Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), who says he has “hesitated to comment on this non-event”. Absolutely nothing new either for Manuel Bompard, deputy (La France insoumise, LFI) for Bouches-du-Rhône. “Change of function, return of the ministers of the previous five-year term, however ousted a month ago: there are obviously few volunteers to climb aboard the Titanic”tweeted the elected official of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes).
On the far right, the interim president of the National Rally (RN), Jordan Bardella, hastened to be ironic: “We continue, we take exactly the same ones and we start again. But to go where? » Similarly, Marine Le Pen estimated on Twitter that “those who failed are all renewed”deducing that Emmanuel Macron “Thus ignoring once again the verdict of the ballot box and the will of the French people for another policy”. The leader of the RN had however herself signified to the Head of State, during their face to face at the Elysee Palace on June 21, that she judged “unjustified” the assumption of a government says “national unity”. Far from a Robert Ménard, the mayor of Béziers, who expressed his wish to bring his stone to the building, still at the end of June on LCI: “If I can improve them with each other, I will without hesitation. » It’s not for this time.
Acerbic, the opposition ignores the new entrants in the Borne 2 government. Among them, Olivier Klein, mayor of Clichy-sous-Bois, former member of the French Communist Party and the PS, minister delegate for the city and housing; the emergency physician François Braun, Minister of Health and Prevention; Jean-Christophe Combe, Director of the Red Cross, Minister for Solidarity, Autonomy and People with Disabilities.
Regrets
Christophe Béchu, secretary general of Horizons, close to Edouard Philippe, climbs the government hierarchy and crystallizes the most virulent criticism. The deputy Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV), Sandrine Rousseau, denounced the takeover of the ecological transition portfolio by the mayor of Angers, reputed to have little experience in this crucial area: “One thing is already certain: never crossed on the slightest environmental struggle. » Olivier Faure does not ask superheroes, but at least ministers who have demonstrated their passion for the subjects they deal with! » Christophe Béchu also signed a column in Current values in 2012 against marriage for all. “Homophobia is growing in government. Our times are great.”commented Sandrine Rousseau.
