THE MONGE BUILDING WITNESS THAT FRANCE IS A DETERRENT NUCLEAR POWER----------------------------------- The detachment of the navy, which was reviewed, is made up of elements of the test building and Measure Monge, it is a building of the Naval Action Force which has two characteristics. The first is that it's a big boat based in Brest, which has an extremely important role in preparing for the future and preparing, in particular for nuclear deterrence. It is equipped with very large tracking radars and is used for testing and maintaining the qualifications of our nuclear deterrent. And it has the particularity of being a navy boat, but which carries experts from the General Delegation for Armaments. That is to say, the internal structure of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, the internal military structure of the Ministry of the Armed Forces which makes the link between industry and operational needs. There will also be an element of the Hubert commando, the Hubert commando, it is one of the 5 assault commandos of the French Navy.

REMARKS DELIVERED BY PRESIDENT MACRON REELECTED FOR FIVE YEARS DURING THE INAUGURATION CEREMONY "Ladies and Gentlemen, At a time when the French are once again entrusting me with the highest office, I am aware of the gravity of the times. From the return of war in Europe to the pandemic, passing through the ecological emergency and so many crises that you have just mentioned, Mr President, at the moment of mentioning, rarely, our world and our country had not been confronted to such a combination of challenges. Where many peoples have decided to withdraw, sometimes yielding to nationalist temptation, to nostalgia for the past, to the sirens of ideologies whose shores we thought we had left in the previous century, the French people have chosen a project clear and explicit for the future. A republican and European project, a project for independence in a destabilized world, a project for scientific, social and ecological progress, a project faithful to the spirit which, since the Enlightenment, has continued to blow over our lands, turning the back with the easy demagogies. This choice is part of the history of our Republic and the presence here of my two predecessors, whom I thank for this, bears witness to this. This sovereign choice obliges me, because it is indeed the French people, the one who appoints its representatives and in particular the President of the Republic who invests me with this mandate on this day."

"THE NEW PEOPLE, DIFFERENT FROM 5 YEARS AGO HAVE GIVEN A NEW MANDATE TO A NEW PRESIDENT" PRESIDENT MACRON STATED
"Yes, the French people have not extended the mandate that is ending, which began on May 14, 2017. This new people, different from 5 years ago, has entrusted a new President with a new mandate. The time that opens will be that of resolute action for France and for Europe.
Act first to avoid any escalation following the Russian aggression in Ukraine, to help democracy and courage to prevail, to build a new European peace and a new autonomy on our continent.
Act to make our country a stronger agricultural, industrial, scientific and creative power by simplifying our rules and investing for this France of 2030.
Act to build a society of full employment and a fair sharing of added value because France needs to continue to produce and innovate more.
Acting to make our country the great ecological power that it should be by radically transforming our means of production, of moving around, of living in metropolitan France as well as in our overseas territories.

Take action to continue tackling inequalities at the root by rebuilding our school and our health. An ever more inclusive school, training in fundamental knowledge and forging republican spirits. A school open to culture and sports, we who will have to host the Olympic Games in 2024. Health accessible everywhere on the territory by training, improving working conditions and better preventing diseases.
Act to continue to build progress for everyone and work for equality between women and men.
Act to continue to protect our compatriots through a strong, committed army, on all continents, and by fighting against everyday insecurities, terrorism which is still lurking and new threats such as cyber. new threats such as cyber.
Finally, act to unite, bring together our territories, from rural areas to working-class neighborhoods, from metropolises to our overseas territories. Yes, to act relentlessly with a goal, that of being a more independent Nation, to live better and to build our French and European responses to the challenges of our century. This action, we all know, is part of a moment in the life of our Nation where fears are there, numerous, as well as fractures.

Acting will therefore not mean administering the country, chaining reforms as we would give ready-made solutions to our people. Action, in these times, is twinned with gathering, respect, consideration, the Association of all. This is why we must all together invent a new method, far from worn-out rites and choreographies, by which we alone can build a new productive, social and ecological contract. Because gathering and pacifying cannot mean accepting to do nothing or forgetting our responsibilities. By sharing the objectives, the ambitions, the responsibilities at the national level, by having the Government, its administration, the Parliament, the social partners, the associations work together and by associating everywhere throughout the country all the active political and economic forces , social and cultural to decide and do, by planning, by reforming, by associating, I am sure that our country can at the same time decide on great national ambitions and unleash creativity and initiatives everywhere in the country. Above all, this will be the foundation of the democratic renaissance that our country needs. It will of course also be institutional and political, but it must be in action and in daily practice and everyone will have their share of responsibility.

Nous en sommes là, à ce moment où le siècle bascule et où, dans le grand dérèglement planétaire, nous avons ensemble à tracer un chemin et à montrer une voie. Ma conviction est faite." "Let us have the courage to look reality in the face to better realize our ideal rather than indulge in illusory chimeras. Let us be faithful to the values ??of freedom, equality, fraternity, secularism that have made us since 1789 and that we have collectively chosen April 24. Let us cherish this millennial history that binds us together, this culture apart, this language which Abbé Grégoire said is the idiom of the universal. love the Republic and all that it brings. The pre-eminence of the general will over private interests, recognition of the verdict of the ballot box, respect for the law as the keystone of the social contract. Let us love our country, like this treasure geography and landscapes where from the plateau of Gergovie to the borders of the Marquesas, from the Pyrenees of my childhood to my Picardy plains, we feel the beating heart of this old rooted people who offered the world the most crazy: l humanism, enlightenment, human rights. So yes, France will not have finished inspiring the world." said President Macron.
