Purchasing power, health and the climate are the three "emergencies" which the government must tackle, indicated, Friday, May 27, Élisabeth Borne, after having set "three watchwords" to her ministers meeting in Matignon: "speed, efficiency and results".
"The first weeks of our action must be devoted to responding to the emergencies of the French," pleaded the Prime Minister after a two-hour meeting at Matignon with the entire government.
Taking office in mid-May in a context of high inflation, Elisabeth Borne has set three priorities, starting with purchasing power, which will give rise to measures as soon as parliamentary work resumes after the legislative elections (12 and 19 June).
