New government ? It’s nearly the same as before. What a joke.

When was the last time a french government wasn’t heading for crisis?

What policies have they enacted so far?
The only thing I have heard of has been more stuff for pensioners.

Something tells me we’re heading for double elections very very soon – one major reason and tactic would be to keep Le Pen out of parliament and the office of president for at least 5 years.
On top of that, this circus can’t keep going on. We need both a president and parliament which can be co-ordinated in a democratic way. These political gridlocks are ridiculous.
Adieu Macron, Adieu des parliamentarians, time to make way for either something new or back to the older ways but this middle ground stuff is swallowing up the 5th Republic like a greedy American kid in McDonalds.

Macron told me parliament keeps eating his prime ministers, so i asked how many prime ministers he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new PM afterwards so i said it sounds like he’s just feeding minsters to parliament and then his party started crying.

It’s going to keep heading for crisis unless Macron calls another presidential election

This has been the case ever since Macron got re-elected….

It’s possibly time to call another election. The last one made no sense but at least this would have some logic to it. 2 failed government in a year with the 3rd possible coming up soon.
Edit
3rd has now ended.

Maybe because they keep pushing for center-right policies nobody likes, while trying to appeal to the notoriously untrustworthy far right?

>Retailleau had previously demanded a third of the ministerial posts for his party and is dissatisfied with the role and weight of the conservatives in the new government.
Retailleau’s party is a minority party, who went in a few years only from being the long time right wing government Gaullist party to being only 11% of the Assembly, with little discernable difference in their rhetoric of program with the far right party.
The members of this party that didn’t like the shift toward the far rigth left for Macron’s group a few years ago already, and are heavily featured in the current government, including the prime minister.
So we have a government that is made of mostly members or former members of a party that was very clearly disavowed by successive elections and Retailleau is still complaining there aren’t enough conservatives in the government. And he can do that because his party is the only one the Macronist group is willing to do any sort of compromise with.
But that’s still not enough to secure a government that won’t fall. For that, they would have to also do compromises with the Far right or the center left. But the center left very clearly said that a government with Retailleau in it was synonymous with automatic no confidence, and Lecornu conceded them nothing so the negociations went nowhere. And the far right is trying to appear respectable so it’s likely they won’t want to be associated with this failure too much, although the signs in their direction (the Macronist group maneuvering to give the far right some key roles in the parliament) may make them wait a little before they vote this government out.
Oh, and all of this is happening right after the latest president we had from this party, Nicolas Sarkozy, was convicted to prison for that time he associated with a Lybian dictator and a wanted terrorist to illegally fund his presidential campaign. And one of the new ministers right now was the treasurer from this campaign but he was not convicted because he asserted that he had no idea about anything that was going on with the money in that campaign and there is no way to prove that he wasn’t indeed just terribly incompetent.
This is the mess we’re into at the moment.

I think the media should stop reporting about France heading for a crisis: That’s just the normal state of the country. Instead, report on France when it’s not. Now that would be „news“ .

Maybe it’s time for some left policies instead of same old same old center right.

When de Gaulle instituted the 5th republic, there was that the unwritten expectation that the head of state would be honorable enough to quit if he lost the parliamentary elections.
Macron should leave and call for new elections, if the French are stupid enough to vote for either the far right or far left (both Putin tools I might add), then let the leopards remind them that stupid decisions have consequences.

This article is already out of date. The prime minister quit one day after making a government and Macron accepted it.
France hasn’t had a government with a majority for over half a year and the coming „government“ is going to be the 4th this year.

In fact, it’s been 2 years since we had a government and no responsible deputies. We still live well without it. They demonstrate to all French people that they are of no use and are only there for their own interest. It’s time to clean up this pile of parasites on the right and the left.
