"We have before us a hundred days of appeasement, unity, ambition and action in the service of France, it is our duty and I trust us, I trust you to achieve it," he said in a televised address.
"July 14 must allow us to make a first assessment," he added, ensuring that Elisabeth Borne would detail the roadmap "next week".
Among the major projects he intends to launch, the president promised "strong announcements from May" against delinquency "and all social or tax fraud", while promising to "strengthen the control of illegal immigration".
"The rule of law is our foundation and there is no freedom without rights or sanctions against those who transgress the rights of others," said the head of state.
He also said he wanted to build a "new pact for working life" in the coming weeks.
"This new pact" will be "built in the coming weeks and months through social dialogue" between trade unions and employers, said the head of state.
The negotiations will focus on the need to "improve salaried incomes", "advance careers", "better share wealth", "improve working conditions", "find solutions to professional wear and tear" or "help with retraining", he added.
Emmanuel Macron added that "the door would always be open to unions" to negotiate. However, they refused to surrender to an invitation set on Tuesday by the Elysee.
Emmanuel Macron has also promised to "unclog" all emergency services by the end of 2024.
Returning to the pension reform, he considered that it was "necessary". But "is this reform accepted? Obviously not, and despite months of consultation a consensus could not be reached. And I regret it," he added.
The Head of State assured that he heard the "anger" of the French, believing that "no one can remain deaf to this demand for social justice and renewal of our democratic life."
But "the answer can be neither in immobility nor in extremism," he warned.
