Emmanuel Macron, France's former economy minister will be contesting the Presidential elections next year.
CNN reports that Macron, who founded a political movement called "En Marche" in April and left the government of President Francois Hollande in August, said in a speech near Paris on Wednesday that he was "ready" to take up the challenge.
"In a few months, with the presidential elections, we will be given an opportunity: to refuse the status quo and decide to advance. Because the fight we have to wage to make our country succeed will begin in May 2017."
"To conduct it, the responsibility of the President of the Republic is enormous, I'm fully conscious of that ... I am ready. That is why I am a candidate to the Presidency of the Republic. Because I believe, more than anyone else, that we can make it, that France can make it,'' Macron said. m
