French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that he intends to leave politics in 2027, at the end of his second five-year term. During a visit to Cyprus, he said he "was not in politics before and will not be after," implying that he does not plan to continue political activity after his presidency. Macron added that at this stage of his term, the biggest challenge is to maintain a balance between protecting his achievements and acknowledging those that "have not worked." Meanwhile, discussions have already begun in France regarding the 2027 presidential elections. Potential candidates from the left, center, and far-right are preparing for the race, while trying to craft a more appealing image for the public. Experts believe Macron's statement may be part of a political strategy to build his legacy narrative and leave room for a successor from his political camp. However, he remains active on the international stage, continuing to play a prominent role in global issues such as relations with the United States, the war in Ukraine, and European politics. Some analysts do not rule out the possibility that after 2027, Macron could return in another political form or to an international post, although he himself has denied such a possibility for now.
