French President Emmanuel Macron will announce a new prime minister to achieve French government stability. This move comes after the French parliament ousted Michel Barnier as prime minister in a non-confidence vote eight days ago. Macron has promised to come up with a replacement. An opinion poll suggests 61% of French voters are worried about the political situation.
Macron has been holding round-table talks with leaders from all the main political parties, except for the far-left France Unbowed and far-right National Rally. He will remain in office until 2027 with a government that will not be brought down like Barnier’s was. Barnier’s plans for €60bn in tax cuts and spending rises were rejected by Marine Le Pen’s National rally and left-wing MPs.
Among the favorites to replace Barnier are centrist MoDem leader François Bayrou, Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu, and center-left ex-prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve. Macron is hoping to restore stability without depending on Le Pen’s party. The French government has been in turmoil since the parliament voted out Barnier. Macron’s decision to announce a new prime minister is crucial in restoring stability.
Furthermore, this move will boost economic growth and create new job opportunities. Additionally, it will provide a sense of relief to the French people who have been waiting for a stable government. Macron’s announcement of a new prime minister will be a significant step towards achieving French government stability.
The ongoing political crisis in France has significant implications for international relations, particularly concerning the war in Ukraine and the European Union. Macron’s ability to navigate these challenges will be crucial in determining the success of his presidency.
