Political career

In his youth, Macron worked for the Citizen and Republican Movement for two years but he never
applied to be a member.[45][42] Macron was an assistant for Mayor Georges Sarre of the 11th
arrondissement of Paris during his time at Sciences Po.[46] Macron had been a member of
the Socialist Party since he was 24 but he only renewed his subscription to the party from 2006 to
2009.[47][48][49]
Macron met François Hollande through Jean-Pierre Jouyet in 2006 and joined his staff in 2010. [48] In
2007, Macron attempted to run for a seat in the National Assembly in Picardy under the Socialist
Party label in the 2007 legislative elections, however his application was declined. [50] Macron was
offered the chance to be the deputy chief of staff to Prime Minister François Fillon in 2010 though he
declined.[51]

Deputy Secretary-General of the Élysée


On 15 May 2012, Macron became the deputy secretary general of the Élysée, a senior role in
President François Hollande's staff.[52][26] Macron served with Nicolas Revel. He served under the
secretary general, Pierre-René Lemas.
During the summer of 2012, Macron put forward a proposal that would increase the 35 hour work
week to 37 hours until 2014. He also tried to hold back the large tax increases on the highest
earners that were planned by the government. Hollande refused Macron's proposals. [53] Nicolas
Revel, the other deputy secretary general of the Élysée who he was serving with, opposed Macron
on a proposed budget responsibility pact. Revel generally worked on social policy. [54]
Macron was one of the deciding voices on not regulating the salaries of CEOs'.[55]
On 10 June 2014, it was announced that Macron had resigned from his role and was replaced
by Laurence Boone.[56] Reasons for his departure were that he was disappointed to not be included in
the first Government of Manuel Valls and also frustrated by his lack of influence in the reforms
proposed by the government. [54] This was following the appointment of Jean-Pierre Jouyet as chief of
staff.[57]
Jouyet said that Macron left to "continue personal aspirations" [58] and create his own financial
consultancy firm.[59] It was later reported that Macron was planning to create an investment firm that
would attempt to fund educational projects.[45] Macron was shortly afterwards employed at
the University of Berlin with the help of businessman, Alain Minc. Macron was awarded the position
of research fellow. Macron had also sought a position at Harvard University.[60]
Macron was offered a chance to be a candidate in the municipal elections in 2014 in his hometown
of Amiens. He declined the offer.[61] Manuel Valls attempted to appoint Macron as the Budget Minister
but François Hollande rejected the idea due to Macron never being elected before. [57]
