This is the controversy of this end of presidential 2022: the use, considered too expensive by the opposition, of the consulting firm McKinsey by the government.

returns in five graphics on some key figures.
Storm on Macronie in the middle of the presidential campaign.
The government was singled out by a Senate report dated March 16 on the use of private consulting firms.
In the eye of the storm, the McKinsey firm is notably accused by the opposition of having cost the State very dearly and of not paying its taxes in France.
This extensive report, 385 pages, includes a lot of information.

Nearly 85% of expenditure is concentrated in 5 ministries: Interior, Economy and Finance, Armed Forces, Ecological Transition, Solidarity and Health.
