Eric Zemmour, president of the Reconquête! party, returned this Tuesday morning to the microphone of RTL on the appointment of Elisabeth Borne as Prime Minister. The former presidential candidate also refused the title of Prime Minister.
“I welcome the arrival of the new Prime Minister” , did he declare. When the journalist asks him why the choice of the masculine, Eric Zemmour answers: “Prime Minister, it’s ugly in the ear. French, it must above all be beautiful” .
The President of Reconquest! was then quite critical of the choice of president, saying that it was a “political coup” by Emmanuel Macron. “I’m not fooled. Once again, he appoints a technocratic Prime Minister, like Jean Castex, to have control of everything. It’s a classic Emmanuel Macron”.
Other critics fall on the Prime Minister
Note that other personalities were critical this Tuesday morning against Elisabeth Borne. Adrien Quatennens, deputy and coordinator of the La France insoumise party, thus tackled the 61-year-old woman on the antenna of Franceinfo: “It’s good that she’s a woman, but you have to see what she embodies politically. It’s the other name for social mistreatment and ecological irresponsibility embodied by Emmanuel Macron” . And the close friend of Jean-Luc Mélenchon to add: “We owe him the opening to competition of the SNCF, the end of regulated gas prices, the reform of unemployment insurance, the layoff of labor inspector Anthony Smith who had protested against the fact that the workers did not have masks in the Covid period, the fact that it postponed the nuclear reduction plan for 10 years”.
“It is not enough to have a CV to characterize yourself politically, there is the balance sheet and the intentions, he is the zealous pupil of Emmanuel Macron” concludes Adrien Quatennens.
Julien Bayou, national secretary of EELV (Europe Ecologie Les Verts), is also there for his criticism at the microphone of France Inter. If he recognized that“a woman again Prime Minister, it’s a new nice signal”he then stated that it was the “sole reason for satisfaction”. Before backing up his attack: “Elisabeth Borne’s record in social matters is the record of a right-wing woman. Nothing is expected of this Prime Minister”. As for the promise that the appointment of Elisabeth Borne makes in terms of ecology, Julien Bayou retorts: “Don’t be fooled by the words”.
