good evening follow me we are going to try to interview the boss in France of one of the largest consulting firms in the world we have talked about it a lot lately this evening cache investigation investigation on hello Elise Lucet Cash investigation France 2 I wanted to ask you questions I am expected there yes but we have been waiting for you for months so I would really like you to answer this question it has been a while since you talked to us about it on social networks we are still waiting for the cash investigation on
mckinsey if you are looking for a subject for Cash investigation you have something to do with Minze I'm counting on you mckinze everyone discovered this name during the vaccination health crisis in this case the government requested a strategy consulting firm on minse cabinet on logistics the supply and distribution of vaccines but actually what is mckinse box your mckin question first when mckinze arrives in a ministry or a company it is to write reports full of advice his consultants on graduates work day and night to quickly provide answers to the problems of big bosses and heads
of state for these missions of a few weeks they are paid a high price mckinze is number 1 in the world among all consulting firms its turnover 15 billion euros in 2022 its nickname the firm I was really surprised because they were just nice people except that these nice people found themselves at the heart of a state scandal during the 2022 presidential election the links between the president Macron and the firm are revealed mckinze becomes the mckin affair a word on this plaster you are unable to take off at the end of the campaign the
minse affair the government called on the minse consulting firm you have obviously heard all the revelations around the affair of the minse cabinet no but we must be very clear because we have the impression that there are schemes it is false there are rules of public procurement France is a country of law 'there is evidence of manipulation that it goes to criminal trial is now at the heart of three legal investigations in France in the first chapter of our story we are going to reveal to you how several mckinze consultants put themselves at the service
of a man for free to help him conquer the Élysée in 2017 everyone told us that it was impossible but he did not know France and above all no one knew then the links between Emmanuel Macron and certain consultants from Mckin France the relationship at the beginning of a few years sooner go for this investigation we pull out all the stops the deorean the super car REM time nothing that on the way for the year 2007 here we are now in the courtyard of the Élysée with Nicolas SAR who comes he wants to revive the
economy and for this he asks Jacques Atali to create a large trade unionist commission, economist, business manager and among them the director of min France laba sees here greeted by Nicolas SAR will make available free of charge consultations of the 400 people it was a gigantic job this commission therefore this workforce of high intellectual level was more than welcome they are capable of analyzing very quickly this field which they do not know they are capable of making a comparison with what is done abroad so if we say we would like to try such a reform
poof it comes out to you very quickly this reform has in such a country it worked it did not work that's it so that's a lot of time to summarize the debates Calie needs a pen he chooses a young financial inspector you recognize him there behind his mentor I asked the financial inspectorate to provide me with a list of available people and for me the best of them in terms of technical competence was Emmanuel Macron he had exceptional technical competence we met for entire weekends to reread the text and to amend it and Emmanuel wrote
the report for the first time Jacques Atalie agreed to say a little more about the link that is then tied between the mckinse consultants and Emmanuel Macron is this where the connection is made between Emmanuel Macron and the mckinse firm yes of a doubt since I thought while speaking to you because Emmanuel worked with consultants from mckinse who helped him since he helped me prepare the report so I suppose that they are known at this placel the commission it was also a place where friendships were born of course it was a moment of grace so
that created a complicity of people who learned to respect each other even if they disagree and who managed to find a consensus which was absolutely fascinating. I am sure that new friendships were born there and also perhaps be future business relationships surely surely according to our information Emmanuel Macron would have become particularly close to a consultant from the firm Karim Tadjeddin he shares the same ideas and even an ambition to conquer power in a few years Karim Tadjeddin is propelled to the head of the mckinse department which sells consulting missions to the public sector a
war machine of the kind that never looks at its grades there are only 21% who think that the children will be happier than us and has broken down the percentages at the infinite in seminars 40% in Europe 35% in the rest of the world it's about one/ers there are about 10% less than 10% of professions about 2 thirds to 8% it's 50 at earth level 55% we are less than 10%. Emmanuel Macron after a stint at the Rothschield bank joined François Hollande in a key position, deputy secretary general of the Élysée, he impressed the head
of state who then named him minister of economy and it was there that Emmanuel Macron and certain consultants of mckinse will work together again November 9, 2015 in a show worthy of silicone valley the very young minister presents Noé a bill to develop the digital economy hello everyone he salutes the members of the committee who helped him to draft this bill with Catherine Barbarou I see Jean-Marc Borello Nathalie CIN finally all the participants however Emmanuel Macron has mentioned certain names that of Eric Laba at the time director of Mckinze France but also that of Karim
Tadedin in all qure cabinet consultants actively participated in the development of this bill secure it that day they are not present but the minister relies on their graph to illustrate his ideas the more you are to the right the more the potential of weighted therefore of disruption is is high and therefore the more you are in fact already in the disruption that is to say the digital the changes of use have upset you ultimately this law will never see the light of day all this work provided by min n was not invoiced to the ministry
all this was done for free it's what we call a proono mission a very common practice in consulting firms when minse puts itself at the service of ministers for free wouldn't you have an idea behind the head , for example , later selling missions or building a network for a probonau you can't say no they are important people we want to be part of an important jeens club the probonau it creates a link for discussions with customers it's creating opportunities for future contracts we try to be close to all the people who could one day
gain importancein therefore participate in the development of a bill but they have done much better behind the scenes certain consultants will serve the presidential ambitions of Emmanuel Macron barely arrived at the Ministry of the Economy he is already thinking of becoming the next President of the Republic if he is there and he has great ambitions we have obtained confidence until now never revealed he reveals the ambitions of Emmanuel Macron from August 2014 before even though François Hollande does not appoint him minister, his name is written by those close to him transition 2017 we read in
particular that the Republican parties UMP and PS are no longer able to meet their responsibility, it is therefore necessary to form a transitional government in 2017 and choose the one which will best represent the transition to the 2017 presidential election in the largest secret meetings took place at the Ministry of the Economy from September 2015 two consultants from Mckinse would have participated, this is what a member of Emmanuel Macron's cabinet at the time will reveal to us to protect our witness we asked an actor to repeat his words we were called several times into the
room of d de ber in the evening from 8 p.m. very restricted around the table there was Ismalelien the advisor in charge of strategy Alexer the director of the firm and his assistant Julien dem we are gathered with g dein tells us that they do this for free because he believes in the personality of Emmanuel macronine is presented to us as a friend of the boss he knows them well they had worked together at the commissionie he has a mix of people which made me uncomfortable we are told total confidentiality we have no right to
talk about it Emmanuel Macron repeats every day to France Hollande that he does not want betrayal it is a very strange moment what happened after the rest of this story is on this USB stick
