A transformation of society

These LREM, MoDem, PS and Liberties and Territories deputies, joined by Senator Ronan Dantec (EELV) and Macronist MEP Pascal Durand, welcome the "safeguard plan implemented by the government" in the face of the epidemic and want to "reflect now and collectively on a major plan to transform our society and our economy".
