Would the President of the Republic wish to serve a third term? If the Constitution prevents it, Emmanuel Macron would have declared that this limitation of the number of presidential terms is “fatal bullshit”. The president responded to Jordan Bardella who proposed the idea of ??a single seven-year term. He would thus have expressed his frustration during an interview with the leaders of the opposition parties, Wednesday August 30, in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis), confirming statements by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
According to Jean-Luc Mélenchon, “Macron cracked. He said, “not being able to be re-elected is bullshit”. To be able to shorten this one by recall referendum would be a general relief”, thundered on X (ex-Twitter), the former rebellious candidate in the presidential election, who was not present during the interview.
“He may have made a joke about it,” said a Majority participant. The president spoke until the end of the night, behind closed doors, with the numbers one of the opposition parties, left and right. They are calling for rapid “announcements” from the Head of State on Thursday to “concretely translate” this initiative.
Since a reform of Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008, the number of presidential terms in France is limited to two consecutive.
