The tension eases a little on the health crisis, Emmanuel Macron goes back to the front.
And to strengthen his left leg.
Thursday, the President of the Republic brought a new touch to the “equal opportunities” component of his program by opening the doors of prestigious administration schools, and in particular the ENA, to young people of modest origin.
Objective: that more
"no kid in our Republic say to himself:" It is not for me ",
explained the Head of State during a trip to the Regional Administration Institute of Nantes.

ENA: Macron gives up on tackling the heart of the problem
From his 2017 campaign, candidate Emmanuel Macron had made the fight against what he then called "
house arrest
" a strong axis of his proposals.
Over the five-year term, this "
promise of emancipation
" has however never succeeded in establishing itself at the top of the executive's priorities, camouflaged by the economic reforms at the start of the mandate, eclipsed by the "waistcoat" crisis. yellow ”and swept away by the health crisis.
With the approach of the presidential election of 2022, the President of the Republic is nevertheless trying to revalue this part of his action to speak again to the voters of the left.
For the latter, it is especially the right leg of the president who has been in action since the start of the mandate, yesterday with the work orders and the abolition of the wealth tax, today with the law on separatism in the study in the National Assembly.
Around Emmanuel Macron, however, we defend ourselves against wanting to set the bar on the left and we rather plead the spotlight on the president's social measures.
In Nantes, Thursday, he himself played the lighting designer by insisting on the importance for young people
"not to be assigned to the social environment or to the place where we were born".
Otherwise,
"the nation is falling apart"
because
"it is the republican promise"
which is not kept.
Moreover, in Amiens, the city where he grew up, “
I didn't even know that the ENA existed.
I discovered it by chance, in Paris.
I am a lucky child, on this point ”,
explained the President of the Republic to AFP after having exchanged with students of the IRA.
To diversify the profile of future civil servants, Emmanuel Macron detailed a new sector, "Talents", intended for young people of modest origin or from disadvantaged neighborhoods.
A thousand additional places will be created in “Talent prepas” reserved for these young people, who will receive a doubled diversity allowance, to 4000 euros.
Five to ten places per school, including 6 at ENA, will be reserved for them.
What feed a new trial in positive discrimination.
Anti-discrimination platform
"When we put all the reforms end to end, we will realize that we have profoundly changed the entire educational chain in the direction of equal opportunities",
pleads a senior executive of the majority by detailing the pathway that is now available to young people: school from 3 years old, the doubling of CP classes, the reform of the baccalaureate, Parcoursup and, now, more open access to administrative schools.
To continue in this vein of the fight against discrimination, and in another aspect, Emmanuel Macron will launch the Antidiscriminations platform on Friday, which he announced during his interview with the Brut media last year.
This tool aims to allow those who are victims to report cases of discrimination by internet or by telephone.
Once all these measures have been put in place, the hardest part will remain for Emmanuel Macron: to show their overall consistency and to credit them to his balance sheet.
