President Emmanuel Macron will seek some glory in the reopening of Notre Dame, three days after parliament voted to oust Prime Minister Michel Barnier, deepening a months-long political crisis. — AFP picas a first-time user .
Macron will hold meetings with Trump and Zelensky before the Notre Dame proceedings, the presidency said. It was unclear, however, whether the three would hold a joint meeting and no Trump-Zelensky meeting has been officially confirmed. With Barnier staying on as a caretaker until Macron finds a successor, the ceremony will take place without a permanent head of government.
Macron was originally due to launch the reopening in an address outside the cathedral before its doors were officially opened by the clergy. Macron, who will also attend the first mass open to the public on Sunday, had already spoken inside Notre Dame during a final inspection, allowing the world to discover its restored beauty on television.
In a typical Macronian assertion, he last week told the artisans who worked on the reconstruction: “You have shown the world that nothing resists audacity.”
