Macron affirmes his intention to serve as president until the conclusion of his term in the year 2027.
Macron admitted that it's time for a significant shift in the way governance is carried out post-elections. He's taking into account the French public's yearning for a change. Macron emphasized the need for "tougher and decisive actions" to combat the "ambiguity and lawlessness" present within the country. He highlighted a new child policy, safeguarding youth, and combating all kinds of discrimination as top priorities. Additionally, he addressed the strong demand for "social equality."
In his vision, the incoming government would "bring together Republican figures with diverse views who've had the guts to tackle the extremes," as stated by Macron.
Currently, right-wing populists aligned with Marine Le Pen, such as Rassemblement National (RN), are gaining momentum in France. The RN party secured a clear victory in the European election on June 9, prompting Macron to dissolve the National Assembly and call for early elections.
According to a poll published in the newspaper "Le Parisien" and Radio France on Saturday, the RN currently garnered 35.5% of the votes, with the left-green electoral alliance New Popular Front coming in second with 29.5%. The liberal camp of Macron trails behind in third place with 19.5% of the votes.
Technically, Macron has the power to appoint a prime minister, but his dependency on this individual gaining a majority in the National Assembly could result in a cohabitation, where the President and Prime Minister belong to different parties. There are growing concerns that the three blocks - the right-wing populists, the left-green electoral alliance, and the government camp - may continually impede each other.
