The President of the Republic will answer questions from Anne-Claire Coudray of TF1 and Caroline Roux of France Télévisions at midday.
This interview is an opportunity for Emmanuel Macron to set both the tempo and the tone of his second term. To also mark the real starting point of a five-year term that began without momentum after failed legislative elections and a period of uncertainty until the general policy speech of Elisabeth Borne.
Emmanuel Macron had first wanted to remove this exercise from the July 14 interview after his first election. He found it too old world. He had only engaged in it once in 2020. He therefore returns to it at a tense political moment when he is implicated in the investigation of the Uber Files, and that in the National Assembly, the government must face vindictive opposition. And while at the same time, the French faced with rising prices are waiting for measures on purchasing power.
In this context, a member of the government believes that the president must try to pass ” very quickly on the political situation » and remember that even if he only has a « relative majority “, there is no “ alternative majority to be able to talk about major problems such as the international situation, the war in Ukraine or even global warming. A way of saying that Emmanuel Macron must try to gain height.
