RECIT – Nearly six years after Emmanuel Macron launched the Great National Debate, the Prime Minister has announced his intention to delve back into the thousands of popular contributions. Forgotten notebooks that were almost never exploited by previous governments.
Night has already fallen on the gardens of the Hôtel de Cassini, a stone’s throw from Matignon. In her hushed office, on the evening of November 8, the Minister for Government Coordination, Marie-Claire Carrère-Gée, discreetly receives three representatives of the association “Rendez les doléances!”, who are calling for the publication of the millions of popular contributions resulting from the “grand débat national”. It’s been a long time since these activists had hoped to set foot in one of the halls of power, almost six years after the famous consultation. This Friday evening, they are finally there. Ironically, a fire alarm sounded right in the middle of the discussions. False alarm. “If this is a way to shorten the discussion, it’s a good one!”joked Rémy Goubert, president of the citizen’s collective.
