French President Emmanuel Macron revealed plans to engage citizens directly in major national decisions through public voting in 2025, signaling a potential shift in France's approach to policy-making. The announcement came during his televised New Year's address on December 31, 2024.
Macron emphasized the long-term significance of upcoming policy choices, stating that "the hope, prosperity and peace of the quarter-century to come depend on our choices today." His declaration suggests a strategic move to involve the French public in addressing significant national challenges.
While the specific issues to be put to a vote remain unspecified, the President's announcement hints at an attempt to resolve ongoing political stalemates through direct democratic means. This approach could represent a notable departure from traditional legislative processes in France.
