Emmanuel Macron's speech at the Grande Loge de France on May 5, 2025, marks the first time a French president has addressed this Masonic lodge, focusing on secularism ahead of the 120th anniversary of the 1905 law separating church and state.

Macron's praise for Freemasonry's role in supporting euthanasia legislation aligns with France's ongoing debate on end-of-life issues, with a 2023 IFOP poll showing 70% of French citizens favor legalizing euthanasia under strict conditions.
