Emmanuel Macron could discuss plans for a referendum, according to a source close to the President. He indicated in his New Year's greetings for 2025 that the French would be asked to "decide" on key issues. François Bayrou has put forward the idea of ​​such a consultation on "a comprehensive plan" for deficit reduction, an idea met with skepticism by politicians on both the left and the right.

The President's entourage also believes that it is possible to ask several questions on the same day and Emmanuel Macron is studying different hypotheses on subjects, including the territorial organization of the State.

The head of state is primarily focused on the international stage, while French political life has been more fractured than ever since he dissolved the National Assembly in June.
