Health, purchasing power, migrants President Emmanuel Macron answers our questions

True to his promise of 2018, Emmanuel Macron is back this Friday in the North and Aisne, accompanied by ministers Olivier Véran, Gérald Darmanin and Jacqueline Gourault.He will sign, at the Familistère de Guise, act 2 of the Sambre-Avesnois-Thiérache success pact.

In Aulnoye-Aymeries in the North, the head of state will visit a multi-professional health center.The opportunity for him to enhance "an unprecedented partnership", and a new method, "an approach from below", which values "the concern for execution and the last kilometer".Emmanuel Macron told us that he should "in the coming weeks" go to the mining basin to measure advances in terms of housing and culture.

- three years after the signing of pact 1, you come back for the signing of component 2, by valuing "an unprecedented partnership".How is this partnership exemplary?

"The Sambre-Avesnois is an engaging land but which has suffered from a form of abandonment of public policies.This pact, we have designed it in the idea of contractualization with elected officials of all sensitivities.This is what made it possible to design this innovative pact.»»

-What assessment do you draw from pact 1?

"This is a massive investment of € 137 million in the State, € 91 million in the region and 5 of European funds.The 67 actions are carried out or widely started.We have set up a program of support for town centers, support for fragile populations with the help of departments.The territory experienced the public integration service in 2020.We finalized the financing of the new Maubeuge hospital center...Pact 2 will consolidate efforts, thanks to a new investment of € 100 million, half of which are carried by the State (excluding Ségur).»»

- How ?

"We are going to initiate a large plan on the rail, to improve punctuality and reliability.We will continue investments in two blocked projects for decades: the Sambre-Oise canal and the 2x2 laon-Avesnes lanes.

And we are going to focus on three axes.Five million euros per year will be dedicated to the retraining of the wasteland.Twenty million for health.We will create a health center of Thiérache.We will develop a network of qualified general practitioners as internship supervisors with the aim of allocating them students from Lille or Amiens.Third axis finally: education.We have real results.The number of dropout students fell by two points.We will continue the deployment of local educational alliances, support the creation of a boarding school in Maubeuge and that of a training center for apprentices.»»

- through the pact, it is the question of medical desertification that is asked...

"This is a national subject.It must be recognized that the young generation is no longer ready to live the life of the country doctor.She wants visibility on her schedules, working in a team… Since 2018, we have supported the creation of health professionals collectives.We must go further and review the agreement to be more incentive to install in certain territories.The constraint does not work.On the other hand, to offer doctors a form of wage earning with counterparts, to decompartmentalize the links between the hospital and city medicine, that can work.»»

-The State will invest 1.4 billion euros in the Hauts-de-France health system.However, the discomfort remains deep.What to do ?

"Activity pricing started from a good intention.But when you want to get everything to enter a standardized system, it doesn't work.Take the example of Valenciennes CH.Thanks to his initiatives, he allowed caregivers to be associated with management.Today it has 5 % of non -medical staff, against an average of 30 % in France.He spends better, absorbed his deficit and attracts doctors.For me, the reform part of the segur must be inspired by it.

The current system rules make everyone unhappy.They discourage caregivers, despite wage increases, between 200 and € 400 per month, never granted before!We have to start to restore meaning.Put the medical community at the heart of the decision.I believe in the logic of preventive and individualized medicine on the scale of a living area.If you pay a healthcare professional, your system cannot go straight.On the other hand, if you tell your doctors that they will be better paid if they manage to lower the levels of obesity, alcoholism or smoking of a territory, you engage everyone in a public health policy whichwill give results.»»

"Countries that confine non -vacinated are those that have not set up the pass.This measure is therefore not necessary in France.On the other hand, I think we must all make ourselves the ambassadors of vaccination.I see it, public speech has its limits.Help me convince those who are reluctant, who have locked themselves in a solitary distrust.

On the third dose, I expect the opinion of the health authorities.For immunocompromised, the elderly, we know that the risk-risk is positive.If it turns out that a third dose is effective and necessary for other audiences, obviously, it will be integrated into the logic of the pass.»»

-Will the project of a third gigafactory of electric batteries see the light of day in our region?

"Your region has given the industry of its landscapes and its lives.It benefits from large logistics sites and a fabric of manufacturers and subcontractors.Industrialists are not mistaken.Sites like Dunkirk present very strong opportunities.We discuss it.»»

- You have announced the revival of the construction of nuclear reactors.Will our region be concerned?

"We will develop our nuclear capacity. Les sites existants sont tous de bons candidats pour abriter des nouveaux réacteurs, des EPR ou ce qu’on nomme les SMR ( « small modular reactors»»).Everyone understood that nuclear is necessary in the strategy of leaving fossil fuels.»»

- Our readers tell us: purchasing power remains their first concern.Is an increase in wages not possible?

"I remind you that on average, purchasing power has increased more, despite the health crisis, than during the previous five -year -olds.And on the price of energies, the government has provided answers.The heart of the battle is to regain full employment and make sure that work pays better.Afterwards, you have to look at the sector by sector how to upgrade wages.But the answer cannot be uniform.

The real question of purchasing power is that in reality the rest of living.And therefore that of lowering the cost of rent, childcare...It is necessary to reduce the costs suffered during the resumption of work.Finally, I believe in profit.The pact law made it possible to develop it.If the industry restarts, everyone must have their share.We cannot say when it is fine, we pay the shareholders;When it goes wrong, we turn the employees.»»

– Parlons de la situation migratoire : 22 000 passages enregistrés vers le Royaume-Uni cette année, un rapport parlementaire qui parle de « maltraitance d’État»»...What answers to provide?

"There has been a massive investment for the construction of reception centers for those who wish to start steps in France.The difficulty concerns these hundreds of women and men who want to join Great Britain.This is a very hard situation to live for the inhabitants of Calais.As such, I exchanged yesterday (Wednesday) with the mayor of Calais to help his city to win back his future.In the coming weeks, several ministers will act new solutions.

I hear the concerns of associations and the defender of rights.We must carry out several actions: prevent the sustainable installation of camps, act upstream to dismantle the smugglers and strengthen work with the countries of origin to prevent these flows.I will bring reforms as part of the EU French Presidency.On the other hand, we have the British, who oscillate between partnership and provocation.We must further strengthen collaboration.If those who want to join Great Britain have family there, this must be part of the family reunification.If they are victims of traffickers, we must break this system.»»

– En novembre 1994, à la veille d’un déplacement dans la région, Jacques Chirac avait présenté sa candidature dans « La Voix du Nord»».Will we have this chance with you?

(He smiles by reading the page of the newspaper of the time that we brought him) "It is always moving to see President Chirac.(He seizes a little daguerreotype on his desk) This portrait of General de Gaulle, it was he who offered it to me in July 2017.He held him from President Pompidou.Jacques Chirac has always had him with him.Today he never leaves my office.

In any case, I see in this interview something to which I adhere: "Restore hope".Our fight is this.We only act well by having this hope at the heart.I don't think France has a last word to say.She has a millennial history in front of her.That's what I will wear.France is a crazy story constantly rewritten.She looks in front.This is France.Those who, by their projects and their ambitions, made us forget the reasons that we had not to live together.»»

Discussed last week with the Élysée to accompany the arrival of the Head of State in the North and Aisne, the principle of the interview was conditioned by La Voix du Nord to the fact that it does not make thesubject of a rereading.Emmanuel Macron accepted the principle.
