Emmanuel Macron and his government want to be at the forefront. Faced with soaring energy prices, and the question of gas and electricity supplies for this winter, the executive is looking for the right answers. To do this, Emmanuel Macron has decided to summon several members of the government this Friday morning to the Defense Council to work explicitly on these subjects, the Élysée confirmed to Parisian.
Should participate in this meeting the Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, who notably this Monday before the Medef called on companies to mobilize and energy sobriety, the Minister of Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire as well as Agnès Pannier-Runacher , Minister for Energy Transition.
This is the first time that the format of the Defense Council has been used on the subject of energy. Usually, and as its name suggests, the Head of State has recourse to it on matters of defence. As part of the health crisis, Emmanuel Macron has regularly organized health defense councils. This is to say if the government considers the subject to be ultra-sensitive.
