A fun gift. During the traditional New Year’s Eve dinner held on Tuesday, December 20 in Matignon around Elisabeth Borne’s ministers, their spouses and their collaborators, the Prime Minister received a blue jersey of the French soccer team, flocked in color gold with the number 49 on the obverse and the number 3 on the reverse. Quite a symbol after having used it 10 times since October 49.3.
“I was ashamed”
This gift, offered collectively but whose idea was launched by Secretary of State for the Sea Hervé Berville, made the head of government smile, who did not have to be asked to wear this shirt, two days after the defeat. of France in the World Cup final, under the watchful eye of the ministers’ phones.
Before one of the Prime Minister’s aides asked guests to stop taking photos, according to information from the Spot. There is no doubt that such clichés filter through social networks while the use of the constitutional weapon of 49.3 that allows the approval of a text without going through the ballot box is regularly controversial.
“I was ashamed, it stinks,” a participant in these festivities confessed to the figaro.
“Political cynicism, definition”
Unsurprisingly, several Nupes elected officials seized on the sequence, while the 49.3 multiplication is being described as a “coup de force” by the opposition.
“Political cynicism, definition”, wrote the green deputy Sandrine Rousseau on her Twitter account.
Same story on the side of Raquel Garrido. “The question is not if Elisabeth Borne is a supporter of 49.3 but until when will the French support 49.3,” the rebel deputy advanced on the social network.
Matignon could resort to this constitutional device again next January, on the occasion of the Social Security budget that should include the extension of the retirement age.
