According to current polls, the majority of people in France are dissatisfied with the work of the head of government. But Elisabeth Borne is combative.
Despite rumors of an impending dismissal, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has emphasized her will to govern. “I want to continue to get involved for the French,” Borne told France Info. “I have promoted reforms, I know the members of parliament and the parliament, I can be useful to my country,” said the 62-year-old. “I was CEO of a company, prefect of a region, there is no shame in knowing the reality of the country.”
After the tough implementation of the pension reform, rumors of a government reshuffle and a replacement of Borne had accumulated. Names of possible successors have already been circulated. Macron, however, gave himself and the government a deadline until the national holiday on July 14 to take the reins more firmly in hand.
The majority of people in France are dissatisfied with the work of the head of government, according to a survey presented on Monday for “Le Figaro”. 69 percent consider their balance sheet to be unsatisfactory and 62 percent want Macron to replace them.
President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday evening on TF1 that he was proud to have appointed Borne to the post. She got through numerous difficult texts. “Élisabeth Borne acts by my side with strength, conviction and courage.”
A year ago, Head of State Macron appointed a woman to the head of government in Borne for the first time in 30 years. Borne is France’s second female prime minister.
