Question 16670 — State

Summary

Ms. Bénédicte Auzanot draws the attention of the Prime Minister to the Economic, Social and Environmental Council. This constitutional assembly is the subject of recurring criticism on its usefulness and its budgetary cost. The reports from the Court of Auditors and MP Daniel Labaronne from July 2025 in particular had already highlighted a very limited impact of its work and an unfavorable cost/effectiveness ratio. More recently, the edition of Canard chainé of June 17, 2026 reveals that the new president of the CESE has launched a call for tenders for 285,000 euros to a communications agency to define the “raison d’être” of the institution. In this context, the MP asks the Prime Minister what justifies such an order, if not the inanity of this institution? She therefore asks him if he is considering abolishing the CESE and its regional emanations, including the uselessness is obvious.
