The councilors and parliamentarians will be able to discuss the economic, social and educational impact of the pandemic and exchange views on the strong measures taken by the government to help our compatriots overcome these difficulties.

There will also be an update on the forthcoming elections of the councilors representing French nationals abroad scheduled to take place from May 29 to 30, and the election of the councilors of the AFE the following month.
