Emmanuel Macron will welcome 110 heads of state to Paris on Friday, July 26, for the opening ceremony of Paris 2024. A highly anticipated Olympic Games, which represent a major security issue in the country. Invited on France 2 and franciinfo, the head of state shared his enthusiasm from the Trocadéro in Paris. “The Olympic Games are hosted once a century. A ceremony like this is the first time in the history of the Games.”relays the President. “We need to re-enthuse ourselves, to come together around a France that welcomes the world. We will all see, from Friday evening, why it was worth it.”

As the political climate remains unstable in France, Emmanuel Macron has reversed his decision to dissolve the Assembly on the evening of the European elections. “I made this choice consciously, with great seriousness because the National Assembly no longer corresponded to French society”he assures. “In the first round, they put the RN in the lead, almost eleven million votes, and we must hear and respect that.”

During the Games, the President called for a political truce on Tuesday, July 23. A date also chosen by the New Popular Front to reveal the name of their candidate for Prime Minister: Lucie Castets. “The question is not a name, it is what majority can emerge in the Assembly so that a government of France can pass reforms, pass a budget and move the country forward. What I expect today from the political forces is that they live up to what they did between the two rounds.”reacts Emmanuel Macron.

Despite the name proposed by the left-wing coalition after several weeks of debate, the president announces that he will not appoint a new government before the end of the Olympic Games. “Until mid-August, we are not able to change things”he decided.
