Following a historic vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Michel Barnier in the National Assembly this night, his cabinet fell.
Despite calls for his resignation, Macron is currently searching for his sixth prime minister during his time in office.
Even though his political opponents are now demanding that the president resign immediately, he has consistently pledged to serve out his term until 2027.
Manuel Bompard, the deputy of the far-left La France Insoumise party, asserted today that Macron has to go in order to restore stability in Paris.
“We are in an unstable situation,” he told RTL France.
“I do not see, given the configuration of the National Assembly and the inability to compromise, a stable situation emerging.”
Additionally, he cautioned the future PM that they are entering a poisoned seat.
French lawmakers are all but certain to oust the government with a no-confidence motion
Bompard is determined that another Macron loyalist should not be given the esteemed position as previously because doing so would only serve to exacerbate France’s “democratic problem.”
Marine Le Pen, a far-right leader, has also attacked Macron for not resigning and claimed that his conceit will force him to jeopardize France’s future.
