“Individual poaching is over, it’s useless,” said new government spokesman Olivier Véran on Tuesday the day after the announcement of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne’s new team.
“It’s demonetized,” he added, when asked about France Inter to find out if the executive had tried to bring the Greens into the new government, for example.
“Do you think that, because you are going to catch an eco-friendly deputy or a communist deputy or a Les Républicains deputy, all of a sudden the group around him will say to himself that’s great, he took the buddy, are we going to come and work with the government? No. They will immediately ostracize the deputy in question and you will have a war prize”, but “it will have no impact on the policy conducted, nor on the framework of the majority”, developed Mr. Véran.
If the oppositions answered “rather no” to the idea of a coalition, they said “rather yes” to the idea of working “text by text”, he added, hoping “a collective of parliamentarians from the oppositions who vote with “the presidential majority.
Emmanuel Macron had, in the preamble to the first Council of Ministers of the new government on Monday, deplored the refusal of “government parties” to participate in “any form of coalition”.
Olivier Véran also stressed that Elisabeth Borne’s general policy speech on Wednesday in parliament would be “the real introduction to the five-year term (…) since it is the announcement of the policy that we want to conduct, reforms that we want to lead”.
He defended Ms. Borne’s choice not to ask parliamentarians for a vote of confidence.
“Useful trust” is “generally requested later, by showing that we are capable, with the majority we have, in construction and in co-construction with the oppositions, of passing laws in parliament”, he said. He insists.
In this context, the group La France insoumise said it wanted to file a motion of censure on Wednesday, which requires a tenth of parliamentarians for its submission and then an absolute majority for its adoption.
Asked moreover about the will of the majority to include the right to abortion in the Constitution, the spokesperson considered that it was necessary “to identify the most useful and most suitable ways and means”, even if they “constitutional, it is to be discussed”.
