In an interview with the "Figaro Magazine" last week, Emmanuel Macron announced a major political initiative in September without providing further details. For the time being, the political class wants to be rather doubtful while speculation is rife.

So what will Emmanuel Macron announce in September? Difficult to answer this question as the promise of the president remains unclear.

Emmanuel Macron would rather have in mind to work with the Greens, the Socialist Party and especially The Republicans, even if Eric Ciotti's party has always refused so far the idea of a coalition with the president.
