French budget bill sets aside €2.3M for Macron’s future offices

French President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming departure from the Élysée Palace is being planned with a budget of €2.3 million for his transition to new offices. This budget, currently under parliamentary review, will cover rent, service charges, and security for six years. Former presidents in France enjoy various lifelong benefits, including pensions, office space, and staff allowances, which decrease after five years post-presidency.
