A profile that questions
The main concern relates to the profile of the new Prime Minister.
If Elisabeth Borne is a very good technocrat, she does not have a sovereign thought structure, as a perplexed high-ranking adviser points out to Europe 1.
A minister from the Les Républicains party affirms that the only consolation prize is Elisabeth Borne's political leanings to the left.
Thus, it is a safe bet that the president will want a rebalancing with more right-wing ministers.
"Of course, it will be necessary to counterbalance", wants to believe another elected official.
A heavy task, without forgetting another crucial stage of his beginning of mandate: the legislative elections.
