00:05 Hello everyone, welcome to the Matignon circuit for the race of Elisabeth Milborn.
00:10 Hello everyone, hello Anthony.
00:12 Indeed, the Prime Minister has just been re-elected.
00:16 The opportunity for us to come back on a year of a winding journey for the Prime Minister.
00:21 Yes, winding, that's it. In fact, things are starting very badly.
00:23 She starts the game by drawing a speed limit card.
00:26 As soon as the results of the legislative elections are announced,
00:30 and the relative majority promises to slow down her race.
00:33 Yes, indeed, Anthony, a complicated start to the circuit.
00:36 But to avoid too early ambushes,
00:38 the Prime Minister will immediately draw a first joker to bypass the Assembly.
00:43 Basically, she gives a general political speech as planned,
00:46 but she does not ask for the trust of the deputies.
00:49 Yes, so it's a rare maneuver and she's even daring, but it's okay.
00:52 The kilometers are running and the texts too.
00:56 Retirement indexation, revaluation of the point of reference of the officials.
01:00 The gas prices will therefore be completely frozen.
01:03 And the electricity prices will be ceiling.
01:06 A food check of 100 euros per household.
01:08 Revaluation of allocations and social benefits
01:11 for a total amount of 2 billion euros.
01:14 In reality, everything is going relatively well until the first collapse in the fall.
01:19 The relative majority does not hold the road.
01:21 She is not strong enough to vote for the budget concocted by the executive.
01:25 But there is even more serious, Anthony, no?
01:27 Yes, there is even more serious.
01:28 Internal dissensions in the team are heard on certain subjects,
01:32 especially the super profits.
01:33 But this is where we see that she has the experience of big appointments, Anthony.
01:37 Elisabeth Borne has a major asset in her sleeve,
01:40 a lifeboat called the 49-3.
01:43 And she will not deprive herself of using it 10 times in less than 3 months.
01:48 I pledge the responsibility of my government
01:51 on the second part and the entire budget project
01:54 for 2023.
01:56 The road is steep, full of difficulties,
01:59 but the Prime Minister gets her budget,
02:01 which allows her to continue to move forward.
02:03 Renewable energy laws, nuclear re-launches are adopted,
02:07 just like those on the 2024 Olympic Games.
02:09 We are already reaching the winter break.
02:11 It is the stop at the stand for Elisabeth Borne,
02:12 which has a fairly comfortable advance.
02:14 But be careful, because as soon as spring returns,
02:18 we are undoubtedly in the most terrible chicane on the circuit.
02:20 Yes, Mathieu, it is clearly the big piece of early 2024.
02:24 Without a doubt.
02:25 The retirement reform is a call out of the box for the government,
02:29 which must release its best assets to get it through.
02:31 That's it. It's the case, for example, of the priority vehicle card,
02:35 which allows the government to restrict the time of debate
02:38 on the reform to the Parliament.
02:39 But it is also the case of the gas system card,
02:42 which offers all the tools to the government to speed up the pace.
02:46 Yes, but here she goes, she leaves feathers in this retirement chicane.
02:49 The accidents multiply for Elisabeth Borne and her government,
02:52 whose arguments regularly fall apart,
02:55 for example on minimum pension or on women's retirement.
02:58 Women, they are obviously a little penalized,
03:03 a little more impacted by the fact that...
03:05 I read men.
03:06 Listen to me.
03:07 Yes, so to get out, the Prime Minister draws a new ace of the deck
03:11 and escapes the crash, but very close.
03:14 Well, there, Anthony, we can say that we passed right next to the red flag.
03:17 Well, nine votes.
03:18 And what is terrible is that the next rounds
03:20 will not be more resting for the Prime Minister.
03:23 Yes, indeed, this is where the truncation of the 100 days of appeasement
03:26 requested by Emmanuel Macron comes in,
03:27 but it was not counting on the anger of the French after the retirement reform,
03:31 the firecrackers and riots in the suburbs,
03:33 as many red lights as forced the Prime Minister to lift the foot of the accelerator.
03:38 I share this analysis, Anthony.
03:40 I add that this is what the fate of the immigration bill shows.
03:43 Yes, in fact, it's a succession of red lights.
03:45 Absolutely. It was the big project after retirement,
03:48 but since the fall, it has already been repealed three times,
03:51 because of a majority in the Assembly.
03:52 In this context, the breakdown was in all the heads of the paddock.
03:56 Rumors of resettlement have indeed been incessant over the last few kilometers
04:00 until Emmanuel Macron confirms the Prime Minister to his post a deadlock.
04:05 Yes, but Anthony, there is one last question left.
04:08 Is it back on track or are we going to get out of the track in a few meters?
04:12 See you at the start on the government roads.
