Sarah Knafo public sector reform proposals

Overview

Sarah Knafo, a Member of the European Parliament and a prominent figure in the Reconquête party, has released a book titled ‘Le casse du siècle’ (The Crime of the Century). The publication critiques the French state for excessive bureaucracy and proposes a plan to achieve 130 billion euros in savings.

Following the book’s release, Knafo detailed a specific proposal to reduce the French civil service by 800,000 positions over five years. To stabilize public finances, she suggests a policy of non-replacement for departing employees rather than mass layoffs. This plan specifically excludes essential sectors, including healthcare workers, teachers, police, and military personnel. Knafo noted that the public workforce has grown from 4.6 million in 1997 to 5.9 million today, arguing that this growth has not yielded improved service quality.
