Elisabeth Borne “confident”
“We are trying to find the way with this new National Assembly”, explained the head of government on the sidelines of a trip to Île-de-France, saying that she was waiting for “an explanation of what [the opposition political forces] are ready to do by tomorrow, as the President of the Republic mentioned", in his televised speech on Wednesday evening.
“The subject is on the table: now we are awaiting the responses of the various political parties.
Perhaps a work program for a few months or, case by case, on the texts", she added, saying she was "confident" about the fact that "the political forces, the deputies, even if they are not part of the presidential majority, want our country to be able to continue to move forward".
The oppositions returned the ball to Emmanuel Macron's court on Thursday, refusing the idea of a coalition government and urging him to propose concrete measures for the French, while wishing to restore to Parliament its full role in the examination of texts “on a case-by-case basis”.
