The new Prime Minister continues her consultations.

Who will be at his side to govern the country?

Elisabeth Borne makes the suspense last but the former Minister of Labor must quickly compose her government before the first Council of Ministers which could be held this Friday.

Who will be in the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Interior, the Economy or the Overseas Territories?

This is the new puzzle for the Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, since her appointment.

The former Minister of Labor must compose a government before the first Council of Ministers which could be held on Friday.

She had already spoken with the head of state and several majority deputies on Tuesday, she continued her consultations on Wednesday.

Interviews with the heavyweights of the majority

Elisabeth Borne multiplies the appointments.

She received Wednesday at Matignon two former Prime Ministers, Édouard Philippe and Bernard Cazeneuve.

She also spoke with the heavyweights of the majority: the President of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand, the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher, the boss of the MoDem François Bayrou, as well as Christophe Castaner, the president of the group of deputies La Republic on the move and also Stanislas Guerini, the general delegate of the party.

Officially, "the Prime Minister is continuing the work of developing the government team", specifies Matignon.

And nothing filters through these exchanges, but it is easy to imagine the content of these conversations, because the composition of the next government is the subject of intense negotiations.

It is for Elisabeth Borne, beyond the skills of the selected political personalities, to find a balance and to show now that she listens, that she takes into account the remarks of each of her interlocutors.
