Macron sworn in for second presidential termRivals kick off campaigns for June parliamentary vote
In a short speech, Macron spoke of the need to innovate at a time of unprecedented challenges for the world and for France, and said his second term would be "new" and not merely a continuation of his first five years in office."We need to invent a new method together, far from tired traditions and routines, with which we can build a new productive, social and ecological contract," he said, promising to act with "respect" and "consideration".
Hollande, who threw his support behind Macron in the April 24 second-round vote, told reporters after the ceremony that Macron could not afford to reproduce the "methods of yesterday". Under the banner of the "New Popular, Social and Ecological Union" , representatives of the alliance's different parties addressed a convention in the Parisian suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis.
As the Socialists joined the leftist alliance, Les Republicains kicked off its campaign by ruling out pacts with any prominent parties including the far-right.
