Macron will never give up power willingly.
Unpopular French President Emmanuel Macron hosts endless meetings and summits trying to insert himself in the Ukrainian war peace process and derail it – but he faces a dark prospect at home, both among the voters and in the Republic’s Parliament.
We have been reporting at The Gateway Pundit how France has fallen into yet another political crisis when Prime Minister Francois Bayrou called a September 8 confidence vote, trying to break a deadlock over his budget proposal.
Today, it arises that Macron will NOT call a snap election if Bayrou loses (as fully expected) the confidence motion next week.
Bloomberg reported:
“Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally has demanded Macron resign, which he has ruled out, or call fresh elections. That option, however, isn’t on the agenda for now, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity as deliberations take place behind closed doors.
If Bayrou were to fall, Macron would seek an accord among parties in France’s National Assembly to appoint a new prime minister, the people said. The ideal candidate would be able to hold together the centrist bloc while forging ties with the Socialists to pass legislation, they said.”
But how can Macron keep his minority government afloat remains to be seen, since his popularity has shrunk to historic low levels.
RT reported:
“French President Emmanuel Macron’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest since he took office in 2017, with 80% of people saying they do not trust him, a new survey has shown.
Macron was backed by just 15% of respondents, according to the new poll conducted for Le Figaro Magazine and published on Wednesday. About eight in ten expressed a negative view of his leadership, while the rest gave no clear answer – leaving him with a weaker rating than during the Yellow Vest protests, a mass anti-government movement that erupted in 2018 over fuel taxes and economic inequality.”
