Pensions: Elisabeth Borne, Emmanuel Macron's first lightning rod

2023-02-12T19:40:40.258Z


STORY – The Prime Minister protects the President by taking the blows for him. And beware of those who stand in his way.


The model dressed in a black dress, hanging on a gallows and circulating in the streets of Marseille on Saturday on a CGT truck, did not escape Matignon.

Representing the Prime Minister, he provoked outraged comments from the majority

.

Since the start of the protest movement against the pension reform, Elisabeth Borne has noticed that many slogans have been aimed at her.

“Born to be a lie”, “Born-out”

,

“Do not exceed the Borne…”

can be read on the signs.

Until then, the president was the favorite target of the angry French.

From "yellow vests" to anti-vaccination passes, Édouard Philippe and Jean Castex had been rather spared.

To her visitors, Elisabeth Borne asks if she should take this differentiated treatment as a compliment.

"It's that I have to be in my role"

, observes Elisabeth Borne, who has become a real lightning rod for a president who has become oh so discreet.

“The slogans relate to Borne.

So I want to say to the president “enjoy it!”
