Emmanuel Macron will be officially reinvested as President of the Republic on Saturday May 7, five years to the day after his first election. How did the investiture ceremonies take place in the history of the Fifth Republic?
On May 21, 1988, François Mitterrand inaugurated his second seven-year term. For the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, a president elected by universal suffrage succeeds himself. “This month of May 1988 did not see the good prevail over the bad, nor the opposite”says François Mitterrand, who had chosen simplicity to mark his second term.
In 2002, Jacques Chirac chose the same ceremony. The protocol, and nothing but this, for his second investiture. The re-elected president promises to restore the authority of the state in front of around sixty guests. Saturday May 7, Emmanuel Macron will be the third President of the Republic to be reinvested, but he is the only one not to have been in a period of cohabitation. Nearly 500 people will be present. Among them, François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, two former presidents not re-elected.
