After the censorship of the government, voted yesterday by the National Assembly, the President of the Republic will speak this evening, live, at 8 p.m., on Deux. The channel is therefore canceling the first and second evening programs.
Direct consequence of the vote on the motion of censure, expressed on Wednesday December 4, 2024, by a majority of deputies against the government of Michel Barnier, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron will speak this Thursday, December 5 at 8 p.m. very precisely, on the public service channel France 2.
How long will the head of state's speech last? What announcements is he preparing to make to the French? Will he announce this evening, as he suggested yesterday, the name of his new prime minister? Will he present his resignation, as some would like? No one knows. To leave the field free for the Head of State, France 2, however, took the decision to cancel the magazines “Envoyé Spécial”, “Complément d'investigation” and “Nous les Européens”, initially planned.
