They're ditching big tech altogether for a FOSS platform that integrates various FOSS technologies, called LaSuite.

Since I haven't seen anyone point it out yet, "la suite" could translate to "the [software] collection", but is more commonly used to mean "continuation" in the sense of a "next step".
I find it hard to translate, but the wording implies this is the next evolution, and they're not going back.

I like the "Simplicité, Sécurité, Souveraineté" theme. Echos of "Liberté, égalité, fraternité"

Unbelievably smart move. Now they should make a plan to phase out all US software and contracting with US companies.

As countries find success, others will follow. Not only because it isn't seen as risky, but also because the tooling will be better refined, and talent will exist in those tools. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Microsoft 365 has a lot of problems, but a shortage of techs who know how to make it mostly behave isn't one of them.
