The essentials
Lecornu is consulting parties, then students, teachers, unions and employers, following Macron's call to include youth.
Prime Minister Lecornu is holding consultations that bring political parties, students, teachers, unions and employer organizations into dialogue. The first meeting is with political parties at Matignon on 22 October. The Prime Minister is also set to convene student, teacher, union and employer organizations on Monday.
The consultations follow a statement by President Emmanuel Macron in his 19 October address, in which he said young people should be included in the dialogue. The reporting presents this as the President's position on who should take part.
The available material does not specify the agenda of either meeting, the outcomes expected from them, or whether other groups will be invited. It also does not state how the views gathered will feed into government decisions.
