It will include the "political economic, social, and associative forces" along with citizens drawn by lot. This will "achieve" five goals that will notably impact purchasing power as well as the environment.

"I had five goals during the campaign: independence (industrial and military, food full-employment, carbon neutrality), public services for equal opportunity, democratic renaissance through institutional reform, and democracy renaissance. "I want to create a National Council for Refoundation with the political and economic associative forces, elected representatives from the territories, and citizens drawn by lot.
