Pension reform, what next? Elisabeth Borne will present or take stock of several reforms “in the first fifteen days of July”, announced Emmanuel Macron, Monday, June 26, in an interview with La Provence. A response that seems to cut short the rumors of an imminent replacement of the head of government. “She has my trust since she is the head of the government. »

“We will have in the first fortnight of July to present the new public finance strategy, progress on immigration and ecological planning, and Elisabeth Borne will do it,” said the head of state as he begins on Monday a three-day visit to Marseille, where he had launched in 2021 a vast plan for the rehabilitation and development of the city.

Fueled behind the scenes by the heavyweights of the majority, rumors of a reshuffle and replacement of the Prime Minister have intensified in recent weeks. Some consider these changes necessary to breathe new life into Emmanuel Macron’s second five-year term after the painful pension reform.

“The Prime Minister is implementing the policy to which I have been committed to the French for over a year. We have a record of which we have nothing to be ashamed of, “explains Emmanuel Macron, citing the reforms of unemployment insurance, vocational high schools or pensions, as well as the programming law for the Ministry of the Interior or even those aimed at accelerating the development of renewable or nuclear energies.

“For more than a year, Élisabeth Borne has worked to implement all of this in a determined, courageous manner at the head of a committed government with a relative majority but which has been able to build alliances, he said. I gave an intensification program, the hundred days, which she is implementing. »

In April, Emmanuel Macron gave Elisabeth Borne a hundred days to relaunch the action of his government. This period must end on July 14.

In this interview, the head of state also brushes aside the controversy sparked by one of his relatives, Richard Ferrand, who seemed to want him to serve a third term. “I am working day and night to ensure that the mandate that the French have entrusted to me is useful for the country and for our compatriots. If I succeed, that will suffice for my happiness and my ambition. What matters to me is not to last, it is to do. »
