It presents a detailed analysis concerning the management of postal and messaging services in France. The document argues for the benefits of privatizing these services rather than maintaining them under direct governmental oversight. In this opinion, Defrance examines the inefficiencies and financial burdens induced by current state management of the postal services. He articulates the argument that the state has generally suffered from the mismanagement and corruption associated with such governance. Instead, he advocates for the privatization or "fferme" system, which is suggested to offer better economic returns for the state and ensure improved service quality. Defrance argues for a simplified administration structure, detailing proposals for daily transport of goods and faster communication to bolster commerce and public welfare. Ultimately, he calls for a commission to evaluate the issues of franchises and the potential for administrative reforms in this sector. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
