Pay attention to the microphones lying around.
It is a principle that the Prime Minister will be able to put to good use during her time at Matignon.
While Elisabeth Borne was eagerly awaited by white-hot deputies for her general policy speech, the head of government decided to go to the National Assembly surrounded by certain members of the executive.
Like Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, government spokesperson Olivier Véran or even Hervé Berville, new Secretary of State for the Sea. On her journey between Matignon and the Lower House, the Prime Minister is surrounded by journalists who wanted to know more about his state of mind a few minutes before he spoke.
To this question, Elisabeth Borne responds soberly:
“
Is this day important?
», then asks one of them.
“
I think
”, retorts the host of Matignon lapidarily.
The cameras and the microphones deviating, the latter then considers that his words are then beyond the reach of any capture.
She turns to the ministers who follow her and says that “it's
really funny because we spend our time answering stupid questions
”.
Taking up with derision the solicitations of journalists, Élisabeth Borne continues by imitating them: ““
Are you happy to be here?
””.
“
Well yes, otherwise I could have put myself in the sun...
she replies, squeaky.
All this, under the laughter of those who accompany him.
A few moments later, Elisabeth Borne went up to the podium of the National Assembly, finding more institutional accents.
In particular, she called on the opposition to give
"meaning and virtue to the word compromise".
