INFO FRANCEINFO. Emmanuel Macron will visit Marseille next week – franceinfo

Emmanuel Macron will visit Marseille next week, franceinfo learned from corroborating sources on Monday 23 August. While the Phocaean city is plagued by repeated settling of scores against the backdrop of drug trafficking, which killed four people in one week, the President of the Republic must announce “a great plan” for the city, which notably includes a component for the rehabilitation of schools and a mobility component.

According to information from franceinfo, it is envisaged that Emmanuel Macron will arrive in Marseille on Thursday, on the occasion of the start of the school year. “He does not want to be locked in the security” explains a relative. In June, the mayor of Marseille, Benoit Payan, already announced that he was working with the State on a school renovation plan costing one billion euros. It must now be formalized.

Emmanuel Macron will stay in Marseille for several days. According to several sources, the Head of State will be present in particular for the opening sequence of the “World Congress of Nature” on Saturday, September 4.
