The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron spoke on Wednesday August 24 at the opening of the Council of Ministers. According to him, France is going through a great shift, marked by “the end of abundance”. A formula that made the opposition react.
Barely pronounced, the formula caused a reaction. At the opening of the Council of Ministers, Wednesday August 24, Emmanuel Macron mentioned the “end of abundance”. “What we are experiencing is of the order of a great shift or a great upheaval”, did he declare. Major energy upheavals, direct consequences of the war in Ukraine and climate change. From now on, for the President of the Republic, the watchword is energy sobriety. Faced with possible shortages, the executive calls on the French to make efforts.
A speech deemed contemptuous by members of the opposition. “No Mr Macron, there has never been abundance, but irresponsibility, looting, waste, commodification of everything and living things”, reacted Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) on Twitter. Éric Ciotti (LR) denounces political immobility: “There is only one recklessness in France, it is that of a President who leads our country into the wall by refusing the courage of reform and by favoring unlimited spending. Indecent!” he was offended.
