The concept of sovereignty has taken center stage in France, as highlighted by the recent annual study from the Conseil d’État.

This comprehensive report, spanning 591 pages, underscores the importance of national sovereignty in the face of global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions in Europe.

The study offers a "toolbox" of proposals aimed at strengthening France's sovereignty across various sectors, including energy, defense, and digital technology.

President Emmanuel Macron has echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for innovation and self-reliance, particularly in the wake of recent economic and health crises.

The report also calls for enhanced civic education and a reevaluation of democratic practices to ensure that the French people can fully exercise their sovereign rights.

As France navigates these complex issues, the Conseil d’État's findings serve as a strategic guide for future governance.
