Elisabeth Borne judged Sunday on France 3 “not necessary” to separate from her Secretary of State Marlène Schiappa, implicated in the management of the Marianne Fund to fight against separatism, while rumors of a government reshuffle intensify .
The Prime Minister, whose replacement at Matignon is also mentioned, also assured that the “concerns of the French, they do not stop, the answers that we provide, they do not stop” on July 14. This is the 100-day deadline during which President Emmanuel Macron asked him to draw up a roadmap to relaunch executive action after the pension crisis.
“I am at work with my government”
“We work in confidence with the President of the Republic. (…) I am at work with my government, I have presented a roadmap with very concrete things for the French,” added Elisabeth Borne, who will face a 17th motion of censure in the National Assembly on Monday. But this motion carried by Nupes has little chance of being adopted.
Among the “concrete answers” put forward by Elisabeth Borne is the forthcoming opening of seventy-six businesses in rural areas thanks to state aid.
“He is someone who has a lot of personality, who wants to get involved”
As for the Secretary of State for the Social and Solidarity Economy Marlène Schiappa, “she is very committed, she was also in the previous five-year term” as Minister Delegate for Citizenship, “she is someone who has a lot of personality, who wants to get involved” and “I don’t think it’s necessary” for her to leave the government, she said on the program “Sunday in politics”.
The former chief of staff of Marlène Schiappa conceded on Wednesday before a parliamentary commission that the minister had intervened to dismiss an association from the Marianne Fund, while denying any favoritism in the selection of projects.
Sébastien Jallet was heard by the Senate inquiry committee on this controversial fund, the day after the resignation of Christian Gravel, the head of the Interministerial Committee for the Prevention of Delinquency and Radicalization (CIPDR), an administrative structure managing this fund at within the Ministry of the Interior.
