A long-awaited package of measures on purchasing power unveiled this Thursday

After Elisabeth Borne's general policy speech on Wednesday, the executive takes action this Thursday.

The government is going to present a package of measures for purchasing power worth around 25 billion euros supposed to mitigate the effects of inflation on households, a project announced for weeks, but suspended until the legislative elections and then the redesign.

Above all, it will be a first major test for the Prime Minister and her team in the National Assembly.

Boris Johnson refuses to resign despite calls from his ministers

The political wind is blowing strong across the Channel, but Boris Johnson is hanging on.

Despite an avalanche of departures from his government, the British Prime Minister has rejected calls for the resignation, including from his faithful.

Far from the triumph of his debut in this post in 2019 under the promise of achieving Brexit, the head of the Conservative government faced the most difficult day of his mandate on Wednesday, surrounded by embarrassing cases and their flood of accusations of lies.

Several leading ministers have asked him to resign as the situation has become untenable.

But for now, he still has the key to 10 Downing Street.

Borne advises wearing the mask without making it an “obligation”

For the Prime Minister, "the French today know the right gestures" against the coronavirus.

Faced with the new wave of Covid-19, Elisabeth Borne therefore prefers to encourage rather than impose.

She thus called on Wednesday evening on TF1 for “vigilance” and the wearing of a mask in “closed spaces where there are many people”, but she will not make it a national “obligation”.

“The epidemic is starting again.

So I call on everyone to be vigilant”, and the elderly and vulnerable “to do their 2nd reminder” of the vaccine, she insisted.
