Elisabeth borne casserors, almost impassive. The Prime Minister observes her name to spread, in Paris and in the provinces, on the banners of the demonstrators against the pension reform accusing her of brutality and deceit. She looks at her effigy hanging at the end of a rope. Wounded, no doubt, she says nothing about it.

Such a hypothesis would sign the failure of the Prime Minister and, also, that of the Head of State. But the addition of the voices of the right is far from being acquired, as evidenced by the rejection by LR, Tuesday evening, of article 2 of the reform, relating to the index of seniors.
“The president must go through there”
