Will the re-elected president still thank those who worked for his re-election in the coming days?
" We do not know.
For the moment, everything is very vague, ”slips a baron of the Republic on the move.
Emmanuel Macron's agenda remains to be defined.
But one thing is certain: “No downtime, he will continue to work hard.
The result of the election forces him to get back to work immediately, to send strong messages of unity and appeasement, ”insists a relative.
Government resignation expected by end of week
This Monday, his day should be mainly devoted to responding to the numerous messages of congratulations from foreign heads of state, then to calls more particularly devoted to the war in Ukraine.

It's tomorrow, ”insists a collaborator.
The international component should also largely occupy his next few days, with a round trip to Berlin, as tradition dictates, to meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
And what about a trip to kyiv?
Nothing planned at this stage.
“If he goes, it has to be useful,” insists his entourage once again.
