While Elisabeth Borne has just been appointed to Matignon, an investigation devoted to the former Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, was broadcast on Thursday.
Elisabeth Borne, a good choice? Without a doubt, according to the mayor of Le Havre. “She is a determined and solid person. These are qualities that count when you are at Matignon”, he believes.
The journalists of France 2 then exposed him to attacks reported and coming from the camp of Emmanuel Macron: “The only one who breaks our necks is Edouard Philippe but we are going to kill him”, “With Horizons (party created by Edouard Philippe), he will end up as a groom”, “He smoked the vapors of the port of Le Havre or what?”.
“I do not comment on statements reported by intermediaries”replies Edouard Philippe cautiously. “I decided to be ‘unnervable’. My grandmother always told me not to get upset, that it’s bad for the arteries. The President of the Republic thinks what he thinks. But he doesn’t should not stop on these statements, I try to be above that.
