It is an exercise that he particularly enjoys. During a press conference at the Élysée Palace, the head of state planned to focus on European issues as France will take the rotating presidency of the European Union on January 1, 2022.

In front of the press, Emmanuel Macron should detail his ideas to reform the Schengen agreements, advance the “climate package” with carbon taxation, better regulate the digital giants, harmonize the minimum wage, and rebuild “a treaty of friendship with Africa “.

But the hundred or so accredited journalists, including a third from the foreign press, should also seize this rare opportunity to question him on political questions, and in particular on his still unconfirmed candidacy for the presidential election in April 2022.
