Do not expect anything to not be disappointed. This is the state of mind of several members of the presidential majority on the eve of the interview with Emmanuel Macron, broadcast on BFMTV at 1:00 p.m. this Wednesday, after the approval of the pension reform in Parliament, in particular through the use of article 49.3. to the National Assembly.
After what opponents of the text have described as a “forced step” and “denial of democracy”, the Borne government is more weakened than ever. To the point of putting pressure on the Prime Minister to resign? According to our information, the President of the Republic has ruled out a dissolution of the National Assembly, a reshuffle of the government or a referendum in the short term.
“It won’t be the big night”, confides to BFMTV a framework of the majority with expectations close to zero for tomorrow.
“We do not expect much,” confirms a Renaissance deputy, “there will be no political response and it is not surprising. He hates to react vehemently. He gives himself 3 weeks.”
“It will continue to heat up”
A double trigger response announced this morning by the president himself, during a meeting with the majority leaders at the Elysee. Tomorrow’s goal for the president: try to appease and reset the course. Before deciding in mid-April according to our information.
“It will continue to heat up in the street,” predicts a representative of the majority.
Are the Elysée and Matignon waiting for a week of respite and a suffocation of the movement led for two months by the inter-union? “I think that not everyone measures the risks that lie ahead”, fears a minister present today around the lunch table in Matignon.
Renaissance Boss Warning
The inter-union called last week for a new day of demonstration this Thursday, March 23, a call broadcast since then by the left-wing parties. During another meeting a little earlier, this time at the Élysée, Renaissance boss Stéphane Séjourné alerted.
“If we don’t learn lessons, we will go from relative majority government to minority government.”
“If it is in the minority and no text can be passed, other more radical conclusions will have to be drawn for the government,” finally estimated the general secretary of the presidential party when 19 LR deputies voted in favor of the motion of no confidence of the Liot group .
A clumsy and late communication, but welcome?
After the rejection of the cross-partisan motion of no confidence by nine votes, the Government now seems to be on the bench. A situation that seems to have pushed Emmanuel Macron to want to regain control, after a long silence and various communication errors from the executive.
“It would have been better if he spoke later, when he’s calmer,” says a Renaissance executive, “but in terms of communication, we need to quickly kill the ball on incompetents.”
