After Nicolas Sarkozy, Elisabeth Born wants to meet Francois Hollande

Nicolas Sarkozy will not be the only one to have the honor of meeting Elisabeth Bourne. The prime minister, who had lunch with the former UMP president last Monday, told Le Figaro that she intended to meet with François Hollande. “For all those who have experience in public administration, it is important to listen to what they tell us,” she justifies the newspaper.

“I met with my predecessors. It is important, when you have duties like the one I have, to listen to all those who have experience. Including the Presidents of the Republic”, details from Figaro Élisabeth Borne. However, after contacting the newspaper, the former president’s entourage stated that “at the moment they have not received an invitation.”

Lunch as a symbol

The dinner between Elisabeth Born and Nicolas Sarkozy, unveiled by Le Parisien on Tuesday, was seen as a rapprochement with Emmanuel Macron. One more thing: Nicolas Sarkozy – without calling to vote for him before the first round – very little supported the presidential candidate of the Republic of Lithuania Valerie Pekress; in the interview, he also pushed LR closer to the presidential majority.

Should we see François Hollande’s invitation as a gesture? Criticizing the Socialist Party’s agreement to build Nupes, the former Socialist president has always been very harsh on Emmanuel Macron and his mandate.
