“I don’t see Elisabeth Borne returning to sit in the National Assembly” believes her biographer Bérengère Bonte

La journaliste Bérangère Bonte – Christophe ABRAMOWITZ

La journaliste Bérengère Bonte a écrit une biographie de la Première ministre, "Élisabeth Borne, la secrète”, parue lors du premier semestre 2023.

"Élisabeth Borne, the secret”. This was the title of the biography written by journalist Bérengère Bonte, published by Editions de l’Archipel, during the first half of 2023.

"There were other options"

This Monday, she told us that she was one of the few who thought until the last moment that Élisabeth Borne's lease in Matignon was not necessarily over. Given the political context, I'm not sure it's a good idea, there were other options."

And to explain his point: "It may be risky to change Prime Minister now. Whereas there will perhaps be a need to do so in five months, if the failure announced in the European elections is confirmed. Imagine that Raphaël Glucksmann goes in front and Renaissance finishes third… We will have grilled a Prime Minister…"

"Not a candidate for departure"

Gabriel Attal or someone else, then. While Élisabeth Borne, according to Bérengère Bonte, was not a candidate for departure, she made this clear in her resignation letter. She had asked Emmanuel Macron to “wring” until the end. She's tough, she never gives up, and she stuck with it. Perhaps a little less in recent days, it was still hard, violent. His immediate future ? I don’t know. But I don't see her coming back to sit in the National Assembly.
