A swarm of announcements and good intentions, but how to shape them? The return of the executive is held this Wednesday, August 24, with a first Council of Ministers around Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée.
>> Climate emergency, inflation, pensions, budget… For Elisabeth Borne and Emmanuel Macron, the start of the new school year promises to be hot
With a red thread already announced: the ecological transition. Thus, dbehind the “general mobilization” for ecology decreed by Emmanuel Macron on July 14, each member of the government is advancing with his proposals.
If Clément Beaune, the Minister of Transport, proposes to regulate the use of private jets, one of his colleagues wonders about the financing of this energy renovation. Measures are therefore being taken department by department, and some plan to announce their proposals on their side.
So what about of the sobriety plan promised by the Head of State himself? What will the ecological planning agenda to be presented in the fall by Elisabeth Borne contain? In response to these questions, only promises of announcements still very vaporous. “Even for us it is not clear”, blows a ministerial adviser to franceinfo.
To best prepare for their return, Emmanuel Macron and Élisabeth Borne met at a dinner on Tuesday August 23. And unsurprisingly, among the urgent issues to be dealt with, ecology is at the center of their concerns.
And the government is already announcing it: on this back-to-school day, Olivier Véran, the government spokesman, will therefore try to summarize what has already been announcement… before new clarifications from Elisabeth Borne, which should arrive on Monday August 29 with a “strong discourse on energy sobriety and transition” during the Medef summer university. With a promise, as much as a wish within the executive: “go to step 2, clarification”.
