French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron held the first major political rally of his new movement En Marche (On the Move) in Paris on the 12 July 2016. Formally, Mr Macron had not announced whether he would be a candidate in the 2017 Presidential Election in France but he did say at the rally he wanted to lead his new political movement 'to 2017 and to victory'. Macron described the movement's aims as 'neither of the left nor of the right'. He also said that 'it will not be a movement to produce yet another presidential candidate'. On the 14 July 2016 French President Francois Hollande threatened Mr Macron as Economy Minister unless he respected the 'solidarity' of the government. Mr Macron resigned on 30 August 2016, a move seen by analysts as paving the way for a possible presidential bid. |
