French President Emmanuel Macron declared on Thursday that he will not continue any political activity after his second term ends in 2027, the maximum allowed under French law. Speaking during an exchange with students in the Greek Cypriot administration, Macron said: “I did not do politics before (the presidency) and I will not do it after.” The statement marks a rare commitment from a sitting president to fully withdraw from public political life upon leaving office.
