Asked about a possible break with the Head of State, the head of government assured that “things were very clear: the President of the Republic is setting the course [and] I am working on a government program and a legislative agenda” .
“I am working on the roadmap he gave me, that is to say, building a government program to respond to the very concrete concerns of the French people and responding to them quickly, as well as on a legislative agenda by seeking project majorities,” Ms. Borne explained.
