The ambitious "Marseille en Grand" plan, initiated by President Emmanuel Macron to revitalize the city, is under scrutiny following a critical report by the regional audit office.

The report highlights the plan's hasty development and lack of comprehensive oversight, leading to fragmented implementation.

Local officials, including the mayor and metropolitan president, face criticism for inadequate collaboration and execution.

Despite the urgency of Marseille's needs, only a small fraction of the allocated funds have been utilized effectively.

The former Secretary of State, Sabrina Agresti-Roubache, has called for stricter oversight, suggesting that local governance issues hinder progress.

As debates continue, the plan's future remains uncertain amidst political tensions and budgetary constraints.
