In her first address to parliament, French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne said the country must prepare for Russian gas cuts. She also told MPs that French politicians have forgotten the virtue of compromise and that they “must give the word its meaning back” after President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist bloc lost its majority in June’s legislative elections.
Amid vociferous opposition to her right and left, Borne warned other parties that “disorder and instability aren’t options”.
