FRANCE
Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsPolitical Market News

French President Emmanuel Macron, now answering questions from journalists at his first election press conference, strongly refutes the prospect of his resignation as president should his bloc perform poorly. Rumours had circulated in recent days (and believed to have been accelerated by Russian outlets). Macron says, "I am going to wring the neck of this duck which never existed” , stating that he committed to a full five year term in the 2022 presidential election.

  • Macron claims that a win for the far-right Rassembelement National (National Rally, RN) in the upcoming legislative elections would mean France leaving NATO and an ambiguous stance from Paris towards Russia and its invasion of Ukraine.
  • Says that many of those who voted for the far-right do not“agree with the ideas of the National Rally,” and that“They simply expressed anger ,” Macron says that the 'signal was recieved'. Goes on to say the National Rally is "a project which will not respond to the insecurity you are experiencing," and that they do not have the answer.
  • Macron says he will not debate against RN parliament leader Marine Le Pen, and that he will also not actively campaign in the elections. Says he did not do so in the 2017 or 2022 legislative elections, and will leave it to PM Gabriel Attal.
