As the fear of seeing the far-right come to power intensified among many French people, Emmanuel Macron was finally re-elected on April 24. During his victory speech, he declared "Your vote obliges me" by declaring to be aware that part of the votes in his favor were votes against the party of Marine Le Pen.
The president could potentially modify his political line compared to his previous mandate. In particular, he announced the possibility of appointing a Prime Minister responsible for ecological planning, a measure taken from the program of the candidate of the Union Populaire, Jean-Luc Mélenchon. This decision, if it comes to be applied, could mean many changes for the construction sector but also for energy or real estate.
During the second round debate, Emmanuel Macron had already announced that he wanted to accelerate the pace of ecological transition in France and he reiterated this intention in front of his supporters on the evening of the election results, declaring "Make France a great ecological nation , this is our project", displaying a desire to "reduce our consumption by 40% by 2050".
The president wishes to rely on the creation of 6 to 14 new EPR2 reactors, on offshore wind power and on a tenfold increase in installed solar capacity.
Concerning the building, as declared during the debate of the second round, Emmanuel Macron intends to accelerate the energy renovations of housing and aims for a target of 700.000 renovations per year.
Construction organizations congratulate Emmanuel Macron but maintain their expectations
Several actors in the construction industry and crafts welcome the victory of the candidate LREM and the political continuity it brings, but they also recall that there is still a long way to go.
The CPME wishes in particular that "this five-year period allows the continuation of the announced reforms, in particular that of pensions" and that important subjects such as "the reform of the public service and the restoration of the balance of public finances, almost absent from the electoral campaign, be put back on the pile of priority files".
The CMA for its part welcomes the "massive and decisive measures which have been decided by the State in order to safeguard the companies affected by the health crisis".
For Joël Fourny, President of CMA France: "I extend my congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his re-election and hope that crafts, France's leading business, will be at the heart of the economic policy pursued by our country. »
The Chamber of Craft Trades nevertheless calls for changes for the new presidential term and in particular the appointment in the next government of a “minister in charge of the 1,8 million businesses in the craft sector”.
For Joël Fourny, president of CMA France: “Artisans have been able to benefit from appropriate public policies, targeted to their specific needs. This ongoing dialogue and effective collaboration with the government must continue and expand to maintain the momentum of learning, guarantee the future of a sector in tension and allow the sustainable growth of craft businesses. »
The UNAM, with the support of the Intermunicipalities of France, recalls "the urgency of acting in the face of the housing crisis and in particular the need to rehabilitate planning thinking and move away from an accounting vision to adopt a functional vision which applies to lifestyles. It calls for a review of the terms of implementation of the Climate & Resilience law in the fight against land take to better optimize the available land and avoid penalizing nearly 10.000 municipalities already lacking in land.
For François Rieussec, President of the National Union of Developers (UNAM): “Urban accounting should not replace urban thinking. And to imagine that compensatory measures are a solution, is to issue a right to the deterioration of the environment. Operations must be virtuous in themselves, integrate environmental solutions and not externalize problems. »
