With Macron initially winning the presidency in 2017 and securing a second term in 2022, he now has until 2027 before he must constitutionally leave office.
Reportedly, the French president’s remarks on term limits materialized after right-wing National Rally leader Jordan Bardella suggested the country’s presidential terms should last for seven years, instead of five.
So far, the French presidential palace has yet to make any public statement concerning Macron’s take on term limits.
More happening in France
Earlier this year, Macron found himself in the eye of the storm. French citizens took to the streets at the onset of this year in strong protest against increasing the national retirement age to 64.
More than one million folks across the country argued the initial retirement age of 62 was better for workers. Despite the considerable backlash across his nation, Macron made it clear that he wasn’t budging on the decision to move the retirement age.
As the French president’s time in office gets closer to an end, the world will eagerly watch to see which successor takes his place.
