Editorial: Liberation

  • Elisabeth Borne has used a phrasing in her resignation letter similar to that of Michel Rocard, hinting at a fraught relationship with Emmanuel Macron.
  • The relations between Borne and Macron seem to follow the pattern of Mitterrand and Rocard's conflict.
  • Borne leaves her position with a feeling of 'duty fulfilled', despite the challenges.
  • Although Borne attempts to link herself with the left through Rocard, the comparison is criticized as not reflecting her legislative track record and the pension reform crisis.

Conclusion: Elisabeth Borne's resignation seems to hint at tensions with Macron and an attempt to align herself with what Rocard represents, despite internal contradictions. However, her influence and legacy is yet to be seen.
