Macron Set to Launch Re-Election Bid Soon, Focus on Handful of Big Policy Ideas

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to launch his re-election bid soon, focusing on a handful of big policy ideas, government sources told Reuters, with a first campaign rally likely to be held on March 5.
Macron, 44, will be entering the presidential race just a few weeks before the election’s first round on April 10 and will hold only a few large campaign rallies, the sources said.
“Everything is ready for the first 15 days following the announcement of his candidacy: first campaign trip, which meeting, which media and themes,” a government source said.
