After using 49.3, Emmanuel Macron had already given the Prime Minister three weeks to enlarge his majority. Elisabeth Borne now has three months to act, before a report on July 14, as announced by the Head of State in his speech on Monday evening.
In his speech, Monday April 17, Emmanuel Macron mentioned the work that awaits the government and the majority during “100 days of appeasement, unity, ambition and action in the service of France”. The Head of State is already planning a review of these 100 days on a symbolic date, July 14, 2023. Is the Prime Minister suspended until this date? No, replies Matignon, but classically, 100 days is the time allotted to put a mandate on track. This therefore represents a new start that Emmanuel Macron offers to the executive couple.

After the trauma of 49.3, the head of state had already given Elisabeth Borne three weeks to enlarge the majority. “Not a failure, but a vain attempt in an impossible mission”, sneers a government adviser. She now has three months to act, without the situation having fundamentally changed.
Élisabeth Borne must now obtain concrete results on the three projects mentioned by Emmanuel Macron: a new pact on life at work and negotiations on wages, expected announcements on the fight against social and tax fraud as well as the ” live better”, with the aim of relieving emergency room congestion by the summer of 2024.
An interview next week for Elisabeth Borne
But Monday evening, at Matignon, no one knew how the presentation of this famous roadmap would be orchestrated. The first details are expected next week, first in the closed session of the Council of Ministers, of which Élisabeth Borne will herself provide the report. A crucial element in order to measure the political balances that the Prime Minister maintains, forced to work with the most political ministers of her government: Gérald Darmanin and Bruno Le Maire, in particular.
The Prime Minister will do her own after-sales service, in the process, with an interview in a media. The general policy statement will not be possible next week, given the parliamentary holidays. But his credo has not changed much: in short, we must change the lives and daily lives of the French. When Emmanuel Macron set the course on Monday evening, she must take charge of concrete measures, and no time to hang around. In 100 days, on July 14, the leader of theANDtat will take stock, with just enough pressure and the feeling that until then, Élisabeth Borne is playing her survival at Matignon.
If the results are not there, some bet that the Prime Minister will be replaced, simply because at that time, it will be the only way for Emmanuel Macron to revive.
