Minc, an influential businessman who has advised multiple French presidents dating back to François Mitterrand in the 1980s, was one of Macron’s earliest backers. The 76-year-old advised Macron, whose office declined to comment for this story, before his 2017 victory and during his first term, which Minc said wasn’t too bad. But their relationship slowly deteriorated as Macron made what Minc he believes were a series of missteps and surrounded himself with “an incredibly mediocre team.” The two stopped speaking shortly after the president called for an ill-advised snap election last year. Today, Minc is perhaps most scathing of the…

At the center of the dispute are the Commission’s plans for changes to regional and agricultural payments, which MEPs claim cut the Parliament and regional leaders out of decision-making regarding budget allocation. Serafin said he was working with other commissioners with responsibility for this element, which he acknowledged was “the bone of contention,” on how to “address concerns of the European Parliament.” He added: “It has never been the intention of the Commission to eliminate the regions from the picture. I mean, this is not a coincidence that we do not talk about national plans, but national and regional partnership plans.…
