Show confidence and determination. After having escaped the overthrow of her government by only 9 votes on Monday after the vote on a motion of no confidence between parties, Élisabeth Borne made it known that she does not see it as a failure.

Emmanuel Macron makes the same observation. “Winning a vote cannot be presented as a defeat,” said the president during the same exchanges.

19 LR out of 61 MPs voted in favor of the motion of no confidence, while Elisabeth Borne had turned right-wing elected officials into the auxiliary force to pass her bills, with some success so far.
No way out of the crisis
But Matignon’s tenant can show her serenity. The Head of State has already made it known to his entourage that he is not contemplating any readjustment, resignation or withdrawal of the lowering of the retirement age to 64 years.
But the question of the way out of the crisis continues to be raised, on the eve of a new day of mobilization of the inter-union. Spontaneous mobilizations have multiplied in recent days, often interspersed with tensions with the police.
The president will speak this Wednesday at noon in an interview, broadcast by BFMTV, with the declared objective of projecting himself in the post-reform period.
