President Emmanuel Macron said that “the French people elected him twice” and that he would respect the trust they had in him “until his last moment of service to the country.” This is the president's first statement since the far-right group withdrew its unofficial support for Michel Barnier's government on Monday.
It is very likely that Parliament will adopt a no-confidence motion on Wednesday, forcing the government to resign.
France. political turmoil in the country. They want Emmanuel Macron to resign
Michel Barnier appealed for responsibility in an evening TV interview, warning that if the government collapses and the 2025 budget runs out, the people will feel the economic impact of political instability.
Both the far right and the left have blamed Macron for the current political crisis, which began with the dissolution of parliament in June. Both sides are calling for the president's resignation. Emmanuel Macron is serving his second and last term according to the constitution. Presidential elections are scheduled to take place in 2027.
Meanwhile, media reports say French leaders have already begun searching for a candidate to replace Prime Minister Barnier. According to BFMTV, the president launched talks last week aimed at “testing out” specific candidates.
Former left-wing Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu, Interior Minister Bruno Letailraud, centrist Modernist Party leader François Baillou, and Senate President Gerard Larchet are among the names mentioned in the media in the context of candidates. He will replace the current head of the French government.
Cazeneuve's name as a candidate had already appeared in the summer after the parliamentary elections. BFMTV, citing sources close to President Emmanuel Macron, asserts that Macron believes that “there is no stable solution on this side” of politics. Lawmakers from the right and far right may disagree with representatives from the left.
It seems unlikely that the president will appoint Lucy Castets this time. He remains the official candidate of the New Popular Front, a left-wing coalition that won the second round of parliamentary elections but with too small a majority to form a government. of itself.
It is worth noting that Michel Barnier, former French foreign affairs minister and chief Brexit negotiator, was appointed Prime Minister of France in early September of this year. What followed was a flurry of mass protests across the country. The left disagreed with Macron's decision and emphasized that their candidate had been rejected. Additionally, the French president was accused of attacking democracy.
Furthermore, French media reported at the time that French far-right leader Marine Le Pen had agreed with Macron about Barnier's nomination, but Le Pen denied this. She emphasized that she is “not the president's personnel director.”
