Everything “separates” her from the extremes (understand RN and LFI according to her) but she cannot “exclude” them. On Wednesday, at the National Assembly, in front of the deputies of the presidential camp, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne recalled that it was necessary to continue to consult the extremes, which represent “a third of our deputies”.
“We cannot exclude the extremes of our institutions,” insisted the head of government, at a time when some are wondering about the questioning of the two vice-presidencies awarded to the RN at the Palais-Bourbon. “This is why the President of the Republic associated them during the meetings in Saint-Denis (August 30, editor’s note). When I consult the presidents of groups, I also receive them. However, we will continue not to seek agreements with them,” she insisted.
Change the RN vice-presidencies? Part of the left fears the upheaval
The heads of the political groups in the National Assembly will meet on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. to decide whether they call into question the distribution of key positions at the Palais Bourbon or whether they renew the current configuration of the office, with the two vice-presidents RN, during a meeting on the subject on October 2. The President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet (Renaissance) pleads for the status quo. But on the left wing of the majority, some are wondering.
In opposition, the head of the environmental group Cyrielle Chatelain wants change. But the rest of the left is reluctant, for fear of a major upheaval which would put other positions at stake, such as that of LFI president of the Finance Committee Éric Coquerel. “We, the forces that we are devoting at the moment are not to corridor games or to commission management, it is to beating the government on France Travail and on the PLFSS (Social Security budget)” , underlined LFI deputy Hadrien Clouet Tuesday morning.
