For about twenty minutes, he will set the course that the executive intends to hold in the coming months and will try to revive a second five-year term, so far very eventful.

No big announcements expected

During this speech, Emmanuel Macron is not expected to make big announcements. The president will not change prime minister either.

"He has to be reasonable with the French"

What do the French expect from Emmanuel Macron's speech? A few hours before the speech of the head of state, Europe 1 went to a bourgeois district of Lyon to collect the impressions of the inhabitants. A first passer-by said she was waiting for soothing words from the president so that the violence stopped. "It must be reasonable with the French, that things calm down because the France is on fire and blood," she said.
