C in the air from January 1, 2025: the summary
⬛ Macron: a mea-culpa… and a referendum?
Yesterday evening, Emmanuel Macron marked his eighth wishes since his arrival at the Élysée in 2017 with a notable innovation: his speech began with a video retracing the significant events and successes of the year 2024. This sequence highlighted strong moments such as the 80th anniversary of the Liberation, the inclusion of the freedom to resort to abortion in the Constitution, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, or even the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris. “We have proven that impossible is not French,” he said, on the soundtrack of the Olympics, before adding: “Tomorrow, let us keep the best of what we have been in 2024: united, determined, united. »

In a sober and refined setting, the president also addressed, for the first time, a mea culpa concerning the dissolution of the National Assembly last June. “I must recognize that the dissolution has for the moment brought more divisions to the Assembly than solutions for the French. Lucidity and humility require us to recognize that at this time, this decision has produced more instability than serenity, and I take full responsibility for it,” he declared.
Calling for “collective recovery” in 2025, Emmanuel Macron insisted on the need for “stability” and “good compromises”. Deprived of a majority in the Assembly, he refocused on his international prerogatives, urging Europeans to overcome their naivety in the face of the rules imposed by other powers. But it was an unexpected announcement that marked the evening: the president suggested that he could resort to a referendum in 2025 to allow the French to decide on “determining subjects” such as the economy, democracy, or still safety. If the word “referendum” was not explicitly mentioned, those around him confirm that this option is seriously considered.
This opening immediately sparked reactions from the opposition. Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the Communist Party, joked about X: “In 2025, Macron discovers democracy. Everything happens! » Sandrine Rousseau, environmentalist deputy, called for starting with a referendum on pension reform, while Franck Allisio, RN deputy, expressed his skepticism, describing the announcement as possible “yet another announcement effect”.
So, what do you think of the president’s wishes? What assessment do you draw from the year 2024 on the political level? And above all, what subjects do you think could be submitted to a referendum? A BVA survey reveals that purchasing power remains the priority of the French, closely followed by health and debt management. Could these themes be at the heart of the consultations mentioned?
