Attachez vos ceintures. La Première ministre Élisabeth Borne a été confirmée à son poste par Emmanuel Macron au terme de plusieurs semaines de rumeurs sur son sort. Celle-ci peut d’ailleurs compter sur une nouvelle équipe, renouvelée à la marge. L’occasion pour Le HuffPost de revenir sur sa première année sur le circuit de Matignon... à l’aide du 1000 bornes (oui oui, le jeu de société).
La cheffe du gouvernement a utilisé plusieurs cartes maîtresses depuis sa nomination au printemps 2022 pour passer les obstacles dressés sur sa route. Il n’en fallait pas moins pour franchir les cols, enchaîner les kilomètres, faire voter les textes malgré la limitation de vitesse imposée par le feu rouge originel de ce quinquennat : la majorité relative à l’Assemblée nationale.

00:05 Hello everyone, welcome to the Matignon circuit for the race of Elisabeth Milborn.
00:10 Hello everyone, hello Anthony.
00:12 Indeed, the Prime Minister has just been re-elected.
00:16 The opportunity for us to come back on a year of a winding journey for the Prime Minister.
00:21 Yes, winding, that's it. In fact, things are starting very badly.
00:23 She starts the game by drawing a speed limit card.
00:26 As soon as the results of the legislative elections are announced,
00:30 and the relative majority promises to slow down her race.
00:33 Yes, indeed, Anthony, a complicated start to the circuit.
00:36 But to avoid too early ambushes,
00:38 the Prime Minister will immediately draw a first joker to bypass the Assembly.
00:43 Basically, she gives a general political speech as planned,
00:46 but she does not ask for the trust of the deputies.
00:49 Yes, so it's a rare maneuver and she's even daring, but it's okay.
00:52 The kilometers are running and the texts too.
00:56 Retirement indexation, revaluation of the point of reference of the officials.
01:00 The gas prices will therefore be completely frozen.
01:03 And the electricity prices will be ceiling.
01:06 A food check of 100 euros per household.
01:08 Revaluation of allocations and social benefits
01:11 for a total amount of 2 billion euros.
01:14 In reality, everything is going relatively well until the first collapse in the fall.
01:19 The relative majority does not hold the road.
01:21 She is not strong enough to vote for the budget concocted by the executive.
01:25 But there is even more serious, Anthony, no?
01:27 Yes, there is even more serious.
01:28 Internal dissensions in the team are heard on certain subjects,
01:32 especially the super profits.
01:33 But this is where we see that she has the experience of big appointments, Anthony.
01:37 Elisabeth Borne has a major asset in her sleeve,
01:40 a lifeboat called the 49-3.
01:43 And she will not deprive herself of using it 10 times in less than 3 months.
01:48 I pledge the responsibility of my government
01:51 on the second part and the entire budget project
01:54 for 2023.
01:56 The road is steep, full of difficulties,
01:59 but the Prime Minister gets her budget,
02:01 which allows her to continue to move forward.
02:03 Renewable energy laws, nuclear re-launches are adopted,
02:07 just like those on the 2024 Olympic Games.
02:09 We are already reaching the winter break.
02:11 It is the stop at the stand for Elisabeth Borne,
02:12 which has a fairly comfortable advance.
02:14 But be careful, because as soon as spring returns,
02:18 we are undoubtedly in the most terrible chicane on the circuit.
02:20 Yes, Mathieu, it is clearly the big piece of early 2024.
02:24 Without a doubt.
02:25 The retirement reform is a call out of the box for the government,
02:29 which must release its best assets to get it through.
02:31 That's it. It's the case, for example, of the priority vehicle card,
02:35 which allows the government to restrict the time of debate
02:38 on the reform to the Parliament.
02:39 But it is also the case of the gas system card,
02:42 which offers all the tools to the government to speed up the pace.
02:46 Yes, but here she goes, she leaves feathers in this retirement chicane.
02:49 The accidents multiply for Elisabeth Borne and her government,
02:52 whose arguments regularly fall apart,
02:55 for example on minimum pension or on women's retirement.
02:58 Women, they are obviously a little penalized,
03:03 a little more impacted by the fact that...
03:05 I read men.
03:06 Listen to me.
03:07 Yes, so to get out, the Prime Minister draws a new ace of the deck
03:11 and escapes the crash, but very close.
03:14 Well, there, Anthony, we can say that we passed right next to the red flag.
03:17 Well, nine votes.
03:18 And what is terrible is that the next rounds
03:20 will not be more resting for the Prime Minister.
03:23 Yes, indeed, this is where the truncation of the 100 days of appeasement
03:26 requested by Emmanuel Macron comes in,
03:27 but it was not counting on the anger of the French after the retirement reform,
03:31 the firecrackers and riots in the suburbs,
03:33 as many red lights as forced the Prime Minister to lift the foot of the accelerator.
03:38 I share this analysis, Anthony.
03:40 I add that this is what the fate of the immigration bill shows.
03:43 Yes, in fact, it's a succession of red lights.
03:45 Absolutely. It was the big project after retirement,
03:48 but since the fall, it has already been repealed three times,
03:51 because of a majority in the Assembly.
03:52 In this context, the breakdown was in all the heads of the paddock.
03:56 Rumors of resettlement have indeed been incessant over the last few kilometers
04:00 until Emmanuel Macron confirms the Prime Minister to his post a deadlock.
04:05 Yes, but Anthony, there is one last question left.
04:08 Is it back on track or are we going to get out of the track in a few meters?
04:12 See you at the start on the government roads.
