A speech announced at the last minute. The President of the Republic will be interviewed this Sunday at 8 p.m. live from the Elysée by journalists Anne-Claire Coudray from TF1 and Laurent Delahousse from France 2, as part of an interview co-broadcast by BFMTV. What should you expect from this interview?
Promote ecological planning
The Elysée has already announced that this interview should be an opportunity for the Head of State to address the French “after a historic week in which France received the King of the United Kingdom and the Pope in the middle of the World Cup of rugby” and “on the eve of the presentation of ecological planning”, before the presentation of the budget on Wednesday.
In fact, according to our columnist Christophe Barbier, Emmanuel Macron will probably want to “impose” the issue of ecological planning, while the president had assured that he wanted to make the climate emergency a priority of his second term, but that he has repeatedly repeated Once postponed this issue and knows what is expected at this point.
Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne also presented the ecological planning document to Pope Francis on Saturday, during his visit to Marseille, according to her entourage.
Purchasing power and international news
Another issue that the head of state could also address: inflation. A specific topic on which our columnist Christophe Barbier believes that many French people are waiting for announcements.
International news is also busy, particularly with the coup d’état that occurred in Niger at the end of July, a country with which France has numerous economic interests and where anti-French sentiment is growing.
Added to this, among other things, is the unstable situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, this secessionist region of Azerbaijan where many Armenians live and where the army won a lightning victory earlier in the week. The head of state could also choose to raise these issues.
Take advantage of the end of the executive’s successful streak
Emmanuel Macron’s speech, after an intense week in France, between the visit of King Charles III and Pope Francis and the Rugby World Cup matches, owes nothing to chance, for Christophe Barbier.
In fact, our journalist believes that this interview should allow the Head of State to “take advantage” of a high-risk sequence for the police, but effectively “successful.”
The interview also comes on the day of the senatorial elections, this Sunday. According to estimates, the results expected for the night will probably not be good for the presidential majority. The president thus intends to occupy the space to put in the background the setback that his side would suffer.
The return to Parliament also looms next week, with several highly anticipated debates, particularly on immigration and the budget.
