Twenty minutes of speech.

20 Minutes compiles you what to remember from his speech.

Compulsory reception of students from June 22. This is the big announcement of the evening. "As of tomorrow [Monday, note], in France and overseas, the nurseries, schools, colleges will prepare to welcome from June 22 all students, in a compulsory manner and according to the rules of normal presence, a indicated at the very beginning of Emmanuel Macron's speech.

It does not mean that the virus is gone. We will have to live with him for a long time, respect the rules of physical distance, watch over the evolution of the epidemic to prepare us in case it comes back with more force. https://t.co/0JbuvGF3id

Visits to the Ephad authorized. "From tomorrow, we will be able to turn the page on the first act of the crisis that we have just experienced," said Emmanuel Macron. "As of tomorrow, the whole territory, except Guyana and Mayotte, where the virus is still actively circulating, will pass into what is now known as the green zone," said the president, detailing several measures promoting this return to normal. In particular the reopening of cafes and restaurants in Ile-de-France or the possibility, as of tomorrow still, to move between European countries. Visits must also now be authorized in retirement homes, said Emmanuel Macron. Rallies, "the main opportunities for the spread of the virus", should be avoided as much as possible, said the head of state. "They will remain very supervised," he adds, while recalling that the second round of municipal elections may well take place on June 28 in the municipalities concerned.

"Our weaknesses, we will correct them quickly and strongly". Beyond detailing the path after this "first battle won against the coronavirus", Emmanuel Macron also wanted to learn "all the lessons" from the health crisis, ensuring that "our strengths will strengthen us, our weaknesses, we will correct them quickly and strong".

"We can be proud of what has been done and of our country," continued the president. Of course this test also revealed flaws, weaknesses: our dependence on other continents to procure certain products, our cumbersome organization, our social and territorial inequalities. I want us to learn all the lessons from what we have experienced, ”said the President of the Republic in a televised address. "In total, we have mobilized nearly 500 billion euros for our economy, for our workers and for the most precarious," said the President of the Republic.

Another speech in July. This time, it will be a question of specifying a "new path" and "launching the first actions". "We have before us historic challenges," said Emmanuel Macron, who promised "massive investment in education, training and youth jobs". "We owe it to her, we asked her so much during this period, she will still have a difficult summer and comeback and it is she who bears the debt," he said. "Our top priority is first to rebuild a strong, ecological, sovereign and united economy," he also said.

"The Republic will not erase any trace of its history". This is another strong phrase from Emmanuel Macron's speech this Sunday evening. The President of the Republic could not fail to mention the demonstrations against racism and police violence in the United States, but also in France. "The Republic will not erase any name or any trace of its history," said the President of the Republic with reference to monuments linked to colonial history or the slave trade recently degraded or debunked. France "will not unbolt statues," said Emmanuel Macron firmly.

The police and gendarmes "deserve the support of the public authorities and the recognition of the Nation" continued Emmanuel Macron, in reaction to the demonstrations of the police force accused of racism and violence. "Without a republican order, there is neither security nor freedom," he said. "This order is assured by the police and gendarmes on our soil". "They are exposed to daily risks on our behalf."
