Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday that the National Council for Refoundation would be launched on September 8, promising a “dialogue” on public services in particular.
At the start of the school year “we will also have the construction site of school, health, our major public services, with this dialogue that we will launch from the National Council for Refoundation on September 8”, he told journalists after the 78th anniversary ceremony of the liberation of Bormes-les-Mimosas (Var).
Government spokesman Olivier Véran explained in July that this CNR aims to “share diagnoses nationwide on major issues” including health, education, loss of autonomy, and that it would associate “leaders of political parties, leaders of parliamentary groups, representatives of associations of elected representatives of the territories, representatives of intermediary bodies, unions in partnership with the Economic, Social and Environmental Council”.
Asked about the major projects for the start of the school year, the Head of State also recalled that “we have war in Europe which is there, we must continue diplomatic actions (…) do everything to stop it”. “We need to work behind it for our energy sovereignty, to support the French, our companies in the context of this war,” he added.
