Copyright AFP\/File Ludovic MARIN<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Valerie Leroux<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With just one year left in his second five-year term, French President Emmanuel Macron has said he will quit politics in 2027 \u2014 leaving observers and supporters guessing about his next moves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t in politics before and I\u2019m not going to be after,\u201d Macron said Thursday during a visit to a high school in Cyprus.<\/p>\n<p>He added that at this late stage in office, the \u201chardest thing\u201d was to strike a balance between defending his record and acknowledging what \u201cdidn\u2019t work out\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>France\u2019s political and media world is already abuzz as the race for 2027 has \u201calready begun\u201d, said Philippe Moreau-Chevrolet, a communications expert at Sciences Po university.<\/p>\n<p>For now, would-be candidates are playing up their softer sides, with far-right National Rally (RN) party chief Jordan Bardella showing off a romance with Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies in glossy magazine Paris Match.<\/p>\n<p>And Gabriel Attal, one of Macron\u2019s string of former prime ministers, has offered personal revelations in a book as he shores up his bid to lead the centrist camp into the 2027 vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow is a good time for the president\u2013 who in any case won\u2019t be in charge of much any more \u2014 to announce and lay the groundwork for his departure,\u201d Moreau-Chevrolet said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe needs to tell an alternative story while leaving what\u2019s next up to speculation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Rear-view mirror \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Macron has sought in recent weeks to spruce up public perceptions of his legacy \u2014 even as would-be successors in his own ranks try to distance themselves from a historically unpopular leader.<\/p>\n<p>The 48-year-old may be hoping to mimic the trajectory of Jacques Chirac, president in the late 1990s and 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>Once out of the cut and thrust of daily politics and with his various scandals fading, conservative Chirac\u2019s public image recovered and many now look back on his era with nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt some point there\u2019ll be a change in perspective, because he won\u2019t be a political personality any longer,\u201d a person close to Macron said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019ll be a re-emergence of some of the key elements and consistency\u201d in his policy, the person added, such as his push for \u201cindustrial and European independence in the face of crises.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Macron remains highly visible outside France, standing up to US President Donald Trump over his threats to annex Greenland and criticising the war against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>His long-vaunted White House relationship has cooled in recent months as Trump becomes a liability even for his supposed political allies in Europe\u2019s far right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t speak to him in the last few hours because I didn\u2019t see a need for it,\u201d Macron said dismissively of Trump Monday during a visit to Poland.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s \u201ctrue role has been on the international stage,\u201d said Moreau-Chevrolet.<\/p>\n<p>In January, Macron energised the World Economic Forum in Davos with a \u201cdefence of European democracies and Gaullist position\u201d of technological and military emancipation from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Images raced around the internet of the French leader wearing aviator-style sunglasses to protect a broken blood vessel in his eye, as he called for Europe to stiffen its spine.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 #Macron2032? \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Macron\u2019s stated intent to leave active politics \u201cdoesn\u2019t mean that he\u2019ll be out of the picture altogether,\u201d Moreau-Chevrolet said.<\/p>\n<p>The person close to Macron said that \u201che was talking about politics in the party-political sense\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Some observers suggest he could seek a post heading an intergovernmental body such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or European Commission.<\/p>\n<p>One centrist leader predicted that \u201che\u2019ll start up an outfit of his own after 2027. And there will be people calling for #Macron2032,\u201d the next presidential election when he could stand again.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, \u201che\u2019s not taking leave of the questions he\u2019s passionate about, reindustrialisation of France, AI, the defence industry, international affairs. He leaves the rest to the prime minister and doesn\u2019t bother about it,\u201d one sitting minister said.<\/p>\n<p>As the 2027 campaign progresses, Macron will likely leave the battle up to the centrist candidate to succeed him \u2014 with the subtext that \u201cI have a legacy and you must stand up for it,\u201d the minister added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
