The Prime Minister confided in our colleagues from Parisian in an interview published this Saturday. She looks back on her future at Matignon one week from the “100 days” granted by Emmanuel Macron, on the immigration bill, the ecological transition or the preparations for July 14.
A decree, published on Sunday, will also prohibit the “sale”, “carrying” and “transportation of fireworks mortars”, frequently used by the perpetrators of this violence, she announced. “Only professionals, who will organize the fireworks in the municipalities, will be able to buy them”.
On possible sanctions for the families of young perpetrators of violence, the head of government warns that “if the existing legal framework is not sufficient, then, if necessary, we will change the law”. The government is considering in this case a specific fine for minors, on the model of the fixed fine for adults when they commit such acts. “It’s quick and efficient,” she says.
Asked about the attitude of the Republicans, the head of government replied: “I have spoken again with Gérard Larcher and Bruno Retailleau in recent days, they are well aware that we have to agree on a text that can be voted on in the National Assembly and the Senate”.
The presidential camp holds a relative majority in the National Assembly and needs the votes of the LRs to adopt immigration reform.
At the end of 2023, the government had already announced the mobilization of 2 billion euros to supply the Green Fund, intended to support the ecological projects of local authorities. “This is an unprecedented investment by the State which will be used to finance energy renovations, public transport, renewable energies and the agricultural transition”, she added, without specifying at this stage the source of these funds. which must be discussed in the 2024 finance bill.
“That does not mean 7 billion in additional taxes, quite the contrary,” says those around him, stressing that this figure corresponds to the order of magnitude of the spending cuts expected from the ministries. “This is new money, which will generate a lot more because it will be used in projects co-financed by communities” as usual, adds the entourage of the Prime Minister.
Elisabeth Borne assured “to have delivered” the roadmap set by Emmanuel Macron, who gave him “100 days” in April to relaunch the action of his government, the Prime Minister refusing to comment on the growing rumors of reshuffle. “We have delivered. All the projects that we had presented at the end of April in the roadmap were undertaken on the four axes, “work, republican order, health and education, declared the head of government in an interview with Parisian.
But speculation is rife about the departure of several ministers as July 14 will mark the end of the “100 days” intended to relaunch the five-year term after the pension crisis.
