Bayrou strong-armed the president into nominating him, with a legislative body cut into three roughly equal parts (left, center-right and far-right) who can’t stand each other for long enough to hash out a compromise, and don’t want to so they don’t „sell out“ before the presidential elections in two years.
In the nine months (?) he’s been the prime minister, Bayrou’s strategy has been to waste time on talks before trying to ram through laws that don’t reflect those talks. He’s also been the target of a nasty old little scandal involving violence (including sexual violence) against kids in a catholic private school that was under his purview as a regional head – and where his own kids went. In the course of this thing being unearthed, and in many other occasions, Bayrou’s been caught pants-on-fire lying several times.
Bayrou could not do anything and wasted nine months to soothe his „man with a great destiny“ ego.
Not that I have a lot of hope for whoever comes next, but Bayrou never had any chance to do anything.

I wonder what these political parties that keep voting against government cut backs do want. Its a 7% shortage each year and then its when the economy is doing well. If the economy isn’t doing well it will be much much worse. Outside of having a very unsustainable debt already.
Its not a question if they *should* do cut backs, but *what* they should cut back on. They should seriously start asking these political parties who is going to finance this, who is willing to give the French more money at this point?

That is what happens when you try to recognize countries against the wishes of your people.

Proposes egregious stuff to „save the country“.
Ask for a confidence vote.
Lose the confidence vote.
Blame opposition as responsible for the country going to shit in order to win next election.
It s all just politics. Those last few years all Macron has done is trying to sabotage opposition in order for his party to win next elections

It is not in Europe’s interest to replace Macron at this moment as we need strong leadership to stand up for Ukraine and push back against Trump and Putin

Sincere suggestion to Monsieur Macron: Use your time to fix France’s problems than awarding terrorists for their massacres.

Foreign Policy was the only thing Macron could do, for some reason.

It was inevitable and is welcome.
