On the island of Reunion Elisabeth Borne could not forget

Elisabeth Borne is back in mainland France this Sunday, May 14 after her three-day visit to Reunion. A trip that took place when it will be a year Tuesday, May 16 that she is head of government. Her entourage promised that she was going to take the time to discuss with the Réunionnaises and Réunionnais. But contact with the population was ultimately quite rare. The fight against pension reform may not be entirely behind the government.

” I will not give up going into contact with the French. And each time we will take the necessary organization so that I can go and discuss. This promise of Elisabeth Borne in front of a handful of journalists on Friday May 12 will not have been kept.

During his three days of visit to Reunion Island, the Prime Minister was supposed to take the time to make contact. Three days when she finally had to avoid a series of pot concerts. Demonstrators each time very few, but who visibly dissuaded her from leaving the very institutional framework of her visit. Just a surprise appearance on a covered market. Fifteen minutes, no more.

No hook either by Mayotte. The neighboring island, at the heart of an operation to deport undocumented Comorians, was only an hour and a half away. But Elisabeth Borne did not see fit to show up. Officially for security reasons and not to disturb theoperation “Wuambushu”. Perhaps also so as not to give the image of a Prime Minister jostled on the national territory in the face of the discontent of a Mahoran population confronted with daily violence.

As a final sequence, Elisabeth Borne preferred to stroll through the aisles of a military barracks. Well safe from challenge and pans.
