Sobriety, republican communion, “renaissance”, a call for national union and “a new European peace”, along with the invention of “a new way” in reinvestment by president Emmanuel Macron, in his second term of the presidency in the X republic of France. In a one -and -a -half -hour ceremony, the head of state takes office in the gray ballroom of the Elysée Palace, which was redecorated during her tenure by the first lady, Brigitte Macron.

A rare moment in the Fifth Republic and when Europe returned to war, economic crisis and inflation after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. For the third time, a French president experienced his “reinvestment” ceremony. After François Mitterrand in 1988 and Jacques Chirac in 2002, Emmanuel Macron followed the protocol established for this particular day.

President Macron spoke to the nation, after receiving the Legion of Honor and investing. He spoke about a project for a new country, unlike his first term, and re-invented the new mandate of change in an eternal France.

War in Ukraine, pandemics, ecological emergencies … “It is rare that our world and our country are faced with such a combination of challenges,” Emmanuel Macron said at the beginning of his opening speech.

“Yes, the French did not extend the mandate ending. This new town, different from five years ago, has entrusted to a new president a new mandate”, Assured the new president.

Time, school, health, safety. The re -elected president recalled the important promises of his program. “Action, in these times, is twinned with meeting, with respect, with consideration, with the organization of all. We must, together, invent a new method by which we can come up with a new productive, social and ecological contract ”, defended the president, who wants to mobilize the“ living forces ”of the country.

“We will continue to love the Republic and all that it entails.” Emmanuel Macron defended republican values, defending the “general interest”, “recognizing the verdict of the polls” and “respecting the law”. “Every day of the mandate that opens, I will have a single compass: serve,” the president assured.

“I swear to bequeath a more livable planet and a stronger and more vibrant France,” Emmanuel Macron concludes.

At least 450 guests arrived at the presidential palace dog from 10 p.m. The head of state sat down but his prime minister, Jean Castex, will only resign on May 13. The definitive premier will be known after the legislative elections on June 12 and 19.

Dressed in white from head to toe and wearing a chignon, Brigitte Macron arrived before her husband.

Wearing a blue suit, surrounded by European flags and neatly arranged, the new president entered the room, turned down the music and sat down in front of Laurent Fabius.

Fabius, president of the Constitutional Council, informed him that he had won 18 million votes and was elected president of the republic for 5 years starting Saturday midnight. He cited “a democratic malaise” in the country.

Referring to the many trials of the five -year period, from the health crisis to the many street disputes, Laurent Fabius recalled his attachment to democracy and quoted Victor Hugo: “In these times of turmoil, let us be servants of the law. and slave of the must “.

A republican tradition was fulfilled. Attending were former Socialist President François Hollande, former Conservative Head of State Nicolas Sarkozy, former Macron Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, former Interior Minister Christophe Castaner and former Prime Minister Manuel Valls.

President Macron’s parents were also present, as were Brigitte Macron’s children in the room. But the former minister of socialist culture, Jack Lang, the former Chiraquian minister Roselyne Bachelot and the former prime minister Jean Pierre Raffarin, who were one by one greeted by Macron, were invited.

Another VIP guest was Christian Strossi, mayor of Nice, who abandoned the Republicans to join the Macron ranks. The parents of Samuel Paty, the teacher killed by a jihadist at a school, were present at Elisha.

Half an hour later, at 10:30 a.m., the highest civil and military authority arrived. Finally, at 10:45 am, the Army General, Benoît Puga, the President of the Constitutional Council, Laurent Fabius, the President of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, the President of the Senate, Gérard Larcher, and the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, successively entered. .

It was a ceremony designed by General Charles de Gaulle, which was carried out. Macron entered the ballroom accompanied by music from George Friedrich Handel’s first movement for Obeo.

Former chancellor and president of the Constitutional Council, socialist Laurent Fabius announced the official results of the presidential elections, before his short but political speech. Army General Benoît Puga presented Emmanuel Macron with the grand collar of the Grand Master of the National Order of the Legion of Honor.

“Mr. President of the Republic, we recognize you as Grand Master of the National Order of the Legion of Honor” were the words of General Puga, in front of a transferred president.

Emmanuel Macron then signed the deed of his investiture to certify the process.

After his first speech as reinvested president, Emmanuel Macron went to the Elysée garden at noon. The president listened to 21 cannon fire from the Hôtel des Invalides, before examining the joint detachments. He then paid homage to the flag alone to the sound of La Marseillaise.

To conclude the ceremony, the Head of State reviewed the troops, including the first infantry regiment of the Republican Guard and the command space. Finally, he congratulated the commanders of the mourning units, as well as the heads of state, after the fight against terrorism in the Sahel desert in Mali.

Investments in legislative trenches, a place in the government constitution. That was the discussion at these times in the politics class, which moved into the Elysee room.

Naming a new team while respecting so many chapels by the crowd promises to be difficult. If the table of the Council of Ministers is not expanded, the leaders of the majority will be insatiable. From the oldest allies to the newest structures, they will be respected and the constitution of the new cabinet will not be easy.

Current economy minister Bruno Le Maire is believed to be prime minister or chancellor, according to various sources.

MoDem, which grew fat with the arrival of Prime Minister Jean Castex, aims to maintain its influence. When the ministries were taken over, “the great leader who would decide who would be sent there was François Bayrou”, laughs a great connoisseur of the centrist house.

The name of deputy Jean-Noël Barrot came back with an insistence for one of the economy portfolios. Marc Fesneau, current delegate minister in charge of Relations with Parliament and number two of the MoDem, is in a good position to remain on the executive.
