Macron has been a Telegram user since the early days of his first presidential campaign. Nearly a decade later, the app is still widely used by cabinet members and political officials at all levels and parties, especially in pro-Macron circles. French security services have tried to limit Telegram's use in official circles for reasons of confidentiality. But Macron's own party, Ennahda, still uses Telegram channels to send public communications to journalists via private channels, a practice also adopted by the French Ministry of the Interior and the National Assembly. In addition, Macron has a public channel where he can share statements and breaking news, with more than 30,000 subscribers. (Politico)
