At each national drama, his start. The disaster of 1870 resulted in the creation of the Free School of Political Science. That of 1940, the birth of the National School of Administration (ENA). Emmanuel Macron, who hammered “We are at war” at the beginning of the 2020 health crisis, is in this historic dramatization by announcing the removal of ENA, April 8, 2021: “As in 1945, we live a moment history. Seventy-five years ago, our country, exhausted, came out of two wars with him the immense challenge of reconstruction. The ENA was created. We have structured our high public service. In 2021, our country faces face. to a historical pandemic. Our duty is to know how to answer it with the same sense of history. “
1 ER January 2022, the National Institute of Public Service (Insp) officially replaces ENA. And the birth of the Institute is the epilogue of a period marked by a particular dramaturgy. The twists, tensions, tragic do not have spared its course. And it is, by this aspect, as with others, emblematic of the five-year-old, a concentrate of macronism. Besides, the bases are asked by 2017. “I do not want the state to manufacture administrative” castes “, with quarries all traced, then declares the candidate Macron. I want to strengthen meritocracy within the very part of the State, to promote the best and most engaged, and not just those who have had the necessary academic qualities at a moment t to leave well classified. “And, for that,” yes “, we must delete, after ENA, Direct access to large bodies (Council of State, General Inspectorate of Finance, Court of Auditors) and promote the land.
The ultimate attempt at Matignon
Everything is there, in germ. Emmanuel Macron has the pension in horror. The good grades obtained at ENA can not decide a whole career, definitively separating those entering the big bodies (the “boot”) at 25 years old, and the others. He himself realized the General Finance Inspectorate (IGF). He entrusts it to those who he talks about his reform: the state does not have to offer “a parachute to those who have failed in the private”. But the IGF, according to the expression of a former director of the budget, “it is as if you have always had a warm room with your parents”. Emmanuel Macron resigned in 2016 because, he says, you have to know “take his risk”.
The big bodies are thus in danger. But many of them are in Matignon. The Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, is a state adviser, like his director of Cabinet, Benoît Ribadeau-Dumas, and Marc Guillaume, Secretary General of the Government, fired in July 2020. The 1 er February 2018, Matignon releases a map of his sleeve: young people intended for large bodies will be allocated for a time to the government’s priority projects. It’s a pledge, one last attempt to save the system.
