Barely returned from a trip to Reunion this Sunday, May 14, Elisabeth Borne begins a particularly dense week. From Tuesday, the Prime Minister will begin to receive the trade union organizations. A crucial resumption of contact at a time when the head of government is about to pass a symbolic milestone, that of her one year at Matignon, and when her future as Prime Minister is still very uncertain.
” She wants to stay in Matignon “explains a minister. And the general opinion in the majority, Emmanuel Macron would have no interest, for the moment, to replace Elisabeth Borneof which a Renaissance deputy considers that she is the only ” to neutralize the idea of a helm stroke to the left or a helm stroke to the right “. The time is no longer to criticize a Prime Minister who is too techno, appointed by default, but rather to salute her ” courage », his desire to « serve “, with an observation: who would have done better than her?
After May 16 and the milestone of one year at Matignon, despite the relative majority and the storm of pensions, Elisabeth Borne hopes to push the extension of her lease as far as possible. She therefore has a shot to play with the unions, which she will receive during the week. A member of the majority believes that she must ” nurture reformist leadership », in other words, to coax the CFDT.
Moreover, according to a senior Renaissance official, the Prime Minister opened up a lot of things on the themes of the CFDT: working better, hardship… But it’s up to Laurent Berger to say what he wants . Leaving the agenda sufficiently open to renew and move forward is one of Elisabeth Borne’s challenges to last.
