The inauguration ceremony of the reelected Macron was held at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Saturday. In his speech, the incumbent President spoke of the need for “innovation” in the face of “unprecedented challenges” for the world and France.
The Presidential election runoffs took place on April 25, with Macron defeating his far-right adversary Marine Le Pen by garnering 58.5 percent of the vote. The result follows the election in 2017 against the same rival.
Macron is the first French president to be reelected over the past two decades, and will lead the country for the next five years.
