“Elements of language” and “approximations”
A cabinet renewed by a third, which has suffered since its appointment as government spokesperson in January, the confusions and approximations of Prisca Thevenot. Internally, the minister responsible for Democratic Renewal is particularly singled out for
“her ability to spit out elements of language”
and
“to multiply approximations”
, according to information from franceinfo
.
His last blunder dates back to April 3, in the report of the Council of Ministers. Prisca Thevenot then announced that an
“attempt to take action”
had been foiled during the Easter weekend
“thanks to the mobilization”
of the police. Comments to which the spokesperson quickly returned, without managing to avoid controversy. A few days earlier, the minister had declared that Emmanuel Macron would receive the farmers
“before the end of the week”
. Wrongly, since the President of the Republic had indicated the opposite in the Council of Ministers, explains
franceinfo
.
The former number 2 in communications for Elisabeth Borne's office in Matignon, Matylda Brzezinska, must already take over the management of Prisca Thevenot's office, according to information from Le
Figaro
