A commission of inquiry into the links between Emmanuel Macron and Uber could be set up at the National Assembly. The deputies of Nupes will file a request which could be completed in several months. The union of the left demands accountability from the French president after the publication of the World survey on “Uber files”. But for the executive, there is nothing in these documents that proves anything condemnable.
A case ? What a story ?
For this source close to power, there is no ” state scandal » in the “Uber files”.« There is nothing illegal… We have nothing to be ashamed of “, repeats an adviser to the executive who responds point by point to the article in Le Monde.
Yes, a minister receives company bosses. Yes, it is not necessarily specified in the official agenda. But no, there was no concealment, no secret meeting, he assures us.
Supporting detail: the leaders of Uber passed through the main entrance of the Ministry of the Economy, their names were recorded, the interview with Emmanuel Macron recorded in his archives.
And no, there was no “deal” with Uber, the ex-minister who became president is simply ” pro economy, pro business and therefore pro employment in the words of this same adviser.
In short, no concern at the top of the state about the consequences of this investigation. Emmanuel Macron will be able to explain himself directly to the French, next Thursday, during a television interview on the occasion of the national holiday of July 14.
I see no affair, no scandal, no deal. I just see a minister who is in his role: to make sure to facilitate creation on our territory.
Aurore Bergé, president of the Renaissance group at the National Assembly
