French President Emmanuel Macron delivered an official address from the Élysée Palace on October 18, 2026. This followed a period of intense nationwide protests, where an estimated 800,000 people demonstrated seeking education reforms and addressing the cost of living. The unrest, which began in mid-September, turned violent on October 17, resulting in damage to approximately 3,000 businesses and the looting of shops across several cities.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The instability exposed by the protests reflects deep public frustration with economic conditions and political systems in France. Furthermore, the government is already budgeting for Emmanuel Macron's departure, allocating a €2.3 million provision to cover rent, security, and service charges for his move into furnished offices over the next six years.

The Élysée Palace has been hosting high-profile international meetings.
