For Clémentine Autain, the McKinsey affair is revealing of the close links between the Macronist majority and the business community. Between them, “it’s a great love story and the cuckolds are the French,” said the rebellious member of France interviewed this Sunday by RTL, LCI and Le Figaro. According to her, “what happened is that since Mr. Macron was in the Attali commission, forged links with McKinsey, then then did his campaigns, he was elected, well the budget dedicated to consulting firms has doubled since 2018 to reach one billion euros. »
The Minister of Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire acknowledged this Sunday on France 3 that there had been “abuses” in the past in the significant use of ministries to consulting firms like McKinsey, judging this habit today now “corrected”. Two investigations have been opened by the courts into the intervention of consulting firms in Emmanuel Macron’s electoral campaigns in 2017 and 2022, to try to find out whether they have not unduly benefited from funding in return for public contracts. .
