The president also clarified that he does not intend to participate in the next presidential elections. "At the end of 2026, the presidential campaign for 2027 will begin - the first in ten years in which I will not take part," he added.
Macron emphasized his intentions to do everything possible to ensure a peaceful election process without foreign interference.
As for priorities at the beginning of 2026, the president stressed that in the first week of January, the government and parliament must reach an agreement to approve the state budget.
Emmanuel Macron has been in office as the president of France since 2017 and, according to the country's constitution, is not eligible to run for a third term.
