Europe. The day after his speech at the Globsec forum in Bratislava, Emmanuel Macron is going to the second summit of the European Political Community (EPC) this Thursday. Some 47 Heads of State and Government will be in attendance in Chisinau. This EPC, an idea proposed by President Macron on May 9, 2022, is an informal forum of diplomacy that puts 47 states on an equal footing, some of which are intended to eventually join the European Union. But what is it for? Emmanuel Macron had sketched out great ambitions by evoking six or seven themes. On Thursday, the discussions narrow around two themes: cyber surveillance and the protection of critical installations.

Job. Élisabeth Borne is going to Angers and Laval on Thursday to discuss the obstacles to employment, such as childcare, for which she should detail the financing of the 200,000 new childcare places envisaged by 2030, and this, despite the shortage of personnel in this sector. The Prime Minister thus anticipates the presentation to the Council of Ministers next week of the bill reorganizing the public employment service.
