In her general policy speech, delivered Wednesday in the National Assembly, Elisabeth Borne addressed more or less directly to the right wing of the hemicycle.

By starting her speech with topics around work and budgetary rigor, she took a step towards the Republican party.

After having insisted for a long time on her desire to find compromises with the opposition, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne did not hesitate to send clear signals to the right, during her general policy speech on Wednesday.

In front of the 577 parliamentarians, it was above all the 62 Republican (LR) deputies that the head of government addressed.

"Disorder and instability are not options," she proclaimed, as if to call the LRs to witness, who claim to be a government party. 

The right forced to position itself clearly 

A way to put the Republicans face to face with their responsibilities.

But it is essentially in the themes addressed that the Prime Minister spoke to the right.

She mentioned a secularism "without accommodation or compromise" but also the theme of decentralization or even budgetary rigor, this time addressing directly the president of the LR group in the Assembly.

"The balance of our public finances is a question of sovereignty. I know that many are attached to it on these benches. We talked about it, precisely, Mr. President Marleix", she declared.

The Prime Minister then repeated this oratorical formula with all the group presidents, except Mathilde Panot (LFI) and Marine Le Pen (RN).

The nods to the Republicans then multiplied through the deconjugalization of the disabled adult allowance, the compulsory working hours for the beneficiaries of the RSA, the pension reform and above all the promotion of work and entrepreneurship. .

So many themes carried by Valérie Pécresse during the presidential election and which force the right to position itself clearly in the face of the government's future proposals.
