Elected for a second term, Emmanuel Macron will be officially invested as the new President of the French Republic this Saturday morning at the Elysée.

A ceremony announced relatively sober and it will not be a first in the history of the fifth Republic...

Elected for a second term on April 24, Emmanuel Macron will be officially invested as the new President of the Republic this Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Elysée Palace.

As with his re-elected predecessors, François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac, there will be no return to the Champs-Élysées, which was already done in 2017. How did the investiture ceremonies for the presidents of the Fifth Republic take place?

Europe 1 takes stock. 

We are in 1988. The ceremony is completed in barely twenty minutes.

Re-elected after a cohabitation, François Mitterrand places his second mandate under the sign of political openness: "This month of May 1988 did not see the good prevail over the bad, nor the contrary".

The desire to bring together

Another investiture without transfer of power, that of Jacques Chirac in 2002, re-elected against Jean-Marie Le Pen in the second round.

Bringing people together: this is often the goal of investiture speeches.

In 2007, for example, with Nicolas Sarkozy.

"Bringing the French together because France is only strong when it is united," proclaimed the former head of state.

Gathering also in 2017, with Emmanuel Macron: "I will have the constant desire to reconcile and bring together all the French people".
