À propos de ce contenu audio
Emmanuel Macron kicked off 2026 with a somber New Years Eve address from the Elysee Palace on December 31, his penultimate as president, clocking in at just 10 minutes of uncontroversial rhetoric. Le Monde reports he acknowledged Frances deep divisions, anger, doubt, and economic pressures while insisting the nation holds firm with record employment, steady growth, and low inflation, sidestepping the public finance crisis. He pledged to work until his very last second in office, outlining three signature projects for his legacy: voluntary national service launching in September, a digital majority at age 15 to curb social media for kids with a bill hitting the Council of Ministers in January, and end-of-life assisted dying legislation up for Senate debate on January 20. RFI notes he urged unity amid political deadlock, no budget in sight, and a plummeting 25 percent approval rating, countering far-right French-bashing from Marine Le Pen who slammed his term as a mire on social media.
Fast-forward to yesterday, January 3, and Macrons thrust into the Venezuela firestorm. After US forces under Trump toppled Nicolas Maduro in a dramatic Caracas airstrike and hauled him to New York on drug charges, Macron lit up X calling it a liberation from dictatorship. EADaily and RFI detail his push for opposition rival Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, whom he dubbed the elected president from 2024, to swiftly lead a peaceful democratic transition, even chatting with exiled Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado to back prisoner releases. Leftist firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon blasted it as shameful US pandering on X, but Macron doubled down without mentioning the American muscle.
No fresh public appearances or business deals popped in the last 48 hours, though his team eyes a January 6 Paris summit for Ukraine security guarantees as France grabs the G7 helm. This Venezuela gambit could etch bold foreign policy into his bio amid domestic lame-duck blues.
