The National Day will take on a special look this Friday, July 14. Accustomed to giving a speech after the parade of French army troops on the Champs-Élysées, the President of the Republic has decided to shake up conventions. In effect, Emmanuel Macron will not give his traditional speech as he has been able to do in previous years during his last mandates. Although he promised to take stock of the first 100 days of his second five-year term during the National Day, he confirmed through a press release that he would finally speak “in the next few days”.
In reality, this is not the first time that Brigitte Macron’s spouse has waived this exercise, because he has honored him only twice, in 2020 and 2022, as our colleagues from The cross. Anyway, July 14 should take place as the French are used to, with the traditional parade as well as the presentation of the Legion of Honor to several important personalities who have marked the past year. And the names of the lucky “elected” were published in the Official Journal.

In total, 358 people, including a parity between women and men, are distinguished in this civil promotion. And the world of culture has not been forgotten, quite the contrary.

Christian Keyboard will also receive a distinction. Indeed, the 71-year-old actor and former member of the Splendid troupe, will be promoted to the rank of officer. In addition, Arman Soldin, the AFP journalist who lost his life in the exercise of his functions in Ukraine, will be appointed to the rank of knight. He died on May 9, 2023… Political figures will also be honored, starting with the former Prime Minister of Jacques Chirac from 2005 to 2007, Dominique de Villepin, who will be appointed to the rank of commander. Jean-François Copé and Vincent Peillon, meanwhile, will be appointed to the rank of knight.
