Presidential election 2022

According to our information, the Head of State, who has not spoken since Christmas Eve and his trip to Fort Brégançon (Var), will lend himself to this “republican exercise“by evoking, of course, “the health context” marked by the explosion of cases of Covid-19 linked to the Omicron variant and the recent decisions taken by the Health Defense Council to try to limit what the executive now presents as a “tsunami”.

These wishes, which are inserted between the Defense Council of December 27 and a new Council expected on January 5, should not, in principle, result in new announcements in the health plan.

For now, the Head of State has posted on Twitter a video offering a “retro” of the year 2021.

“Challenges” and “successes” on the menu

The Head of State should also take the opportunity of New Year’s Eve to defend his record, and project the French into the coming year. “Beyond the simple assessment and perspectives, it will be an opportunity to talk about France and the French, challenges, successes too”, we told LCI in the presidential entourage.

It should also be a question of the rotating presidency of the European Union, which France will assume from Saturday, just four months before the presidential election.
