Appointment postponed. While he had promised to take stock of the first 100 days of his second five-year term during the national holiday, Emmanuel Macron finally decided to postpone this speech to the French, and indicated, through a press release from the Élysée, that he would speak “in the coming days”. TV interview, print or presidential address? We do not yet know what form this speech will take.
On April 17, by decreeing “one hundred days of appeasement” and “action” to end the pension crisis, President Macron had made an appointment on National Day for “an initial assessment”.
The Head of State had instructed his government to move forward on several projects within this period of time. He thus called for drawing a new “pact of life at work”, for “strengthening the control of illegal immigration”, for establishing a “deeply rebuilt” health system or even for taking measures for the school in back to school view.
Macron has only taken part in the traditional presidential interview on July 14 twice, over his six years in office. Emmanuel Macron, who is currently in Vilnius at the NATO summit, will be in Brussels next Monday and Tuesday for another summit between the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac). Then he should go to Oceania for a long trip from Saturday July 22.
