Emmanuel Macron urges senior officials to simplify “faster”, otherwise “it’s Bibi who pays”. “We have to go much faster and stronger in terms of simplification,” he reframed in a speech lasting almost an hour in front of 700 “senior state executives” gathered face-to-face in Paris or by videoconference.

He also called for “systematizing” the National Refoundation Councils (CNR), at least in Education and Health.
