“We are experiencing the end of abundance”: Macron’s first words during the political return – Le Parisien

A political return auguring many challenges for the executive. After three weeks at Fort de Brégançon, Emmanuel Macron gathered his government this Wednesday at the Élysée. A reunion preceded Tuesday evening by a working dinner with Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to discuss the main priorities for the start of the school year. upheaval (…). We are experiencing the end of what could appear as an abundance, those of cash without cost, (…) the end of abundance of products, of technologies which seemed to us to be perpetually available, (…) the rupture of value chains, (… .) the end of the abundance of earth or matter and that of water”, declared the president, in the preamble to this council this Wednesday morning, wishing to thank “our firefighters, elected officials, farmers in the face of fires and drought”. On leaving the Council of Ministers, government spokesman Olivier Véran also described “a summer after climate change, of total awareness even among the most skeptical”. “Direct access to all raw materials is no longer relevant with the successive crises”, he underlined. Accepting “paying the price of freedom” “It’s the end of a form of recklessness”, also declared Emmanuel Macron, sketching the lines of the “major projects” to come. Faced with the current crises – in particular linked to the war in Ukraine and “one more serious than the other” – “we must respond with seriousness and credibility, let’s not give in to demagoguery”, also observed Emmanuel Macron, also believing that “our regime of freedom has a cost, which may require sacrifices, we need unity”. On the climate crisis, “There is no longer a choice between adaptation and mitigation,” he said. “We will have clear and strong choices to make after the season we have just had,” he adds.VIDEO. Macron calls on the French to agree to “pay the price of freedom”Last week, during the ceremony of the 78th anniversary of the landings in Provence, the president who had previously denounced the “brutal attack” of Russia in Ukraine, had in his speech also called on the French to agree to “pay the price of freedom”. During the debrief of this Council of Ministers, Olivier Véran also welcomed the effectiveness of government measures on inflation. “Apart from Malta, no one is doing better” in the European Union and “according to INSEE, government measures have made it possible to act at the root”, he observed. He also announces that the government is working on a “plan to secure the energy supply”.
