Emmanuel Macron announced Thursday that he would give a speech on Europe next Thursday "late morning" at the Sorbonne. As for the European elections of June 9, "I will have the opportunity, obviously, as I did five years ago, to get involved in this campaign," he said.
In September 2017, four months after the start of his first five-year term, the Head of State presented an ambitious series of proposals to relaunch the European project. He said Europe is "too weak, too slow, too ineffective," he said in a solemn speech lasting more than an hour and a half. "We have good ideas, those that have been put in place in Europe in recent years," he said on Wednesday alongside his camp's candidate for the EU elections, Valérie Hayer, who is far behind in the polls against the list of the National Rally of Jordan Bardella. The speech aims first of all to set a course for the future, judging that it aims to set the broad outlines of his project.
