Thursday April 13, 2023 will mark the twelfth day of mobilization against the pension reform. Indeed, the intersyndicale wishes to continue the strike and keeps the objective of having the text definitively withdrawn. The latter will be examined on April 14. The Elders will have the possibility to validate this reform, or to opt for partial or total censorship. The nine members of the Council are therefore at the center of all the debates this week.
But, at the same time, the contrasting speeches of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and President Emmanuel Macron point to a future reshuffle. Indeed, for a few weeks, the speeches of the two elected officials no longer coordinate. While the Prime Minister broke the record held by former Prime Minister Edith Cresson at Matignon on April 4, 2023, the latter may not be part of the next government. Discover in our slideshow below who could succeed him.
Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne nevertheless sought to defend a certain cohesion with public opinion. Indeed, “the President of the Republic coordinates with the Prime Minister”, affirmed the entourage of Emmanuel Macron in the columns of Le Monde. For her part, Elisabeth Borne evoked the same conception of the coming weeks. “We share exactly the same objectives: to appease the country and provide concrete and rapid responses to the French,” she said last Friday.
“I am working on the roadmap he gave me, that is to say, building a government program to respond to the very concrete concerns of the French people and responding to them quickly, as well as on a legislative agenda by seeking project majorities”, she adds. Nevertheless, these claims will not spare speculation about a future redesign. Indeed, if Elisabeth Borne still occupies her position, some are already talking about her replacement. For the moment, many rumors are circulating but no concrete information has been communicated.
