Chirac was due to address the nation in a televised interview at 8:15 pm (1815 GMT), an appearance likely to emphasize a newfound personal investment in seeing through the center-right's program of social and economic reforms.
"Today, Jacques Chirac begins the second phase of his five-year term. It is important for him to give it the necessary momentum," said former prime minister Alain Juppe, leader of Chirac's Union for a Popular Majority (UMP).
