Parliamentary holidays oblige, no declaration of general policy at the podium of the Assembly, but a speech at the desk of the Elysée.
At the end of the Council of Ministers, this Wednesday noon, Elisabeth Borne presented her "roadmap" for the famous "hundred days" set by Emmanuel Macron.
Anxious to avoid a presentation that is too long in form and too dry in substance, the head of government was more keen to focus on the main programmatic axes that will mark out her policy at least until July 14.
Even perhaps beyond, if however the President of the Republic decides to extend his lease to Matignon.
Immigration: the law planned by the summer finally postponed until the fall
The text will not be presented or examined before the next school year.
And for good reason: "
Today, there is no majority
", according to Elisabeth Borne.
After several reversals on the legislative vehicle of the immigration law, the executive has also revised its plans on the calendar.
As a result, the project will ultimately not be on the agenda of the current parliamentary session, which ends this summer.
Work: “full employment” law at the beginning of June, sharing of value “before summer”
First priority presented by the Prime Minister, employment is the subject of numerous measures.
The Prime Minister announced that the bill aimed at achieving full employment will be presented at the beginning of June.

migratory pressure
", some 150 police and gendarmes will also be "
mobilized from next week
" in the Alpes-Maritimes.
Digital: an artificial intelligence law, pornography, cyberbullying
Faced with online risks, the executive wants to tighten the screw.
A bill "
to secure and regulate the digital space
" must be presented in the coming days, at the beginning of May.
In particular, he will have to fight against online harassment, access to pornography by minors, child pornography or scams.
The government will also specify its strategy on artificial intelligence “before the summer”.
Youth: action plan, "diversity" plan, and ramping up of the UNS
In the weeks and months to come, “
an action plan for young people
” will be presented.
This will contain, for example, “
an emergency plan for degraded university accommodation
”.
A mixed plan will also be announced on May 11 to "
reinforce social diversity at school
".
At the same time, a gradual ramp-up of the Universal National Service (SNU) will be put in place with a view to its generalization in the long term.
Towards a “new social agenda” with the social partners
Elisabeth Borne wants to build, with the social partners, a new "
pact of life at work
" by July 14.
The executive thus hopes to address several points, such as the employment of seniors, working conditions, professional retraining or the universal time savings account, Emmanuel Macron's campaign promise.
