Commitment · Employment and Workforce Training · July 15, 2026
The fear of being replaced or downgraded, fueled by the progress of artificial intelligence, is not an individual worry. It is a collective anxiety. It calls not for a reassuring speech, but for a concrete guarantee: being able to train throughout one's life.
Original French quote
La crainte d’être remplacé ou déclassé, nourrie par les progrès de l’intelligence artificielle, n’est pas une inquiétude individuelle. C’est une angoisse collective. Elle n’appelle pas un discours rassurant, mais une garantie concrète : pouvoir se former tout au long de sa vie.

Savings exist, abundant and first and foremost European. But they cross the Atlantic, and it is our savings that finance the power of others. Bringing them back is a political decision.
Original French quote
L’épargne existe, abondante et d’abord européenne. Mais elle traverse l’Atlantique, et ce sont nos économies qui financent la puissance des autres. La ramener est une décision politique.

That of French citizens cannot live on servers subject to the law of another power, free one day to consult it or to seize it. Keeping it in Europe, under our law, meets the same requirement
Original French quote
Celles des Français ne peuvent vivre sur des serveurs soumis au droit d’une autre puissance, libre un jour de les consulter ou de s’en saisir. Les garder en Europe, sous notre loi, répond à la même exigence

The knowledge of our century must, moreover, be rethought: data ethics, critical thinking from middle school onward, philosophy from the Seconde year onward.

Schools must at last master the new tools by providing massive digital training for teachers, by building a public service of educational artificial intelligence, by opening laboratories where the sciences and the humanities speak to each other.
Original French quote
L’école doit enfin maîtriser les nouveaux outils en formant massivement les enseignants au numérique, en bâtissant un service public de l’intelligence artificielle éducative, en ouvrant des laboratoires où sciences et humanités se parlent.

I therefore want to make these guarantees effective and to extend them: that no denial of benefits, placement or permit be handed down without an official examining it, explaining it and answering for it, within an enforceable deadline.
Original French quote
Je veux donc rendre ces garanties effectives et les étendre : qu’aucun refus d’aide, de place ou de titre ne tombe sans qu’un agent l’examine, l’explique et en réponde, dans un délai opposable.

Europe has begun; we must change scale, and this power must first serve what is not for sale: the hospital, the school, the State.
Original French quote
L’Europe a commencé ; il faut changer d’échelle, et que cette puissance serve d’abord ce qui ne se vend pas : l’hôpital, l’école, l’État.
