Since the beginning of the government formed by François Bayrou, Elisabeth Borne has marked disagreements with some of his colleagues with correct guidelines, either to the right of the ground or with the veil in the sport. Faced with the same media Bruno Retailleau and Gérald Darmanin, she seeks to defend a more balanced line.
If the balance is tilted more on one side than in the other, number two of the government, which does not exclude the career for the elysée, ensures that it can always weigh. “I keep my place,” he said in RTL this Thursday, May 5, telling himself “very attached to this central line that Emmanuel Macron played in 2017 and 2022” during the presidential elections.
Be a “balance factor”
In this sense, the former prime minister demands that “they are not locked in prepared responses” but embody “this central force”. That is, in his eyes, “a balance factor for our country, our democracy, which can make coalitions, which can find agreements with both moderate left and with the Republican right.”
It remains to be seen if Elisabeth Borne really will succeed in digging her groove. Because, beyond the government, Gabriel Attal, who chairs the presidential party and its group deputies, also launched into an offensive with right -handed accents, symbolized by its proposal to ban veil in public space for children under 15 years. There too, the minister had distanced her.
