" I want the ministers to go on the ground to hear the demands of the French, businesses and local elected officials, " wrote the occupier of Matignon on Twitter, recalling his commitment to strengthening ties with local communities. His colleague in Bercy, Bruno Le Maire, said that this meeting should make it possible "to collectively define our working method to act effectively and immediately in the service of the French ". Emmanuel Macron should not attend this meeting, which takes place only a few days before Jean Castex's general policy speech, scheduled for July 15.
The seminar was announced by government spokesman Gabriel Attal in the cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The new executive renews this with a method already used by Jean Castex's predecessor, Edouard Philippe.
During the report, the spokesperson had previously cited four axes which will guide the new ministerial team: the revival and reconstruction of the country, the desire " to associate more widely the elected representatives, the living forces of our country ", the " Republican patriotism " and " Europe ". The method was also outlined, notably through a close association with the territories and increased proximity to local communities.
