There you go: impeachment procedure launched against Macron by La France Insoumise ("France's unbowed"), the main political force in the New Popular Front coalition that won the elections, after Macron said he wouldn't honor the election results.
They also call for a protest movement all around France.
This is a translation of their communiqué (itself a reply to a communiqué by Macron where he outright rejects a government led by the New Popular Front, who won the elections):
"The President of the Republic has just made a decision of exceptional gravity. He does not recognize the result of the universal suffrage that placed the New Popular Front at the top of the votes. He refuses to appoint Lucie Castets as Prime Minister.
He invokes 'institutional stability'. It is not up to him to do this, but up to the parliament to achieve it. Yet another abuse of power! And what does he mean? Has he found another parliamentary majority available? What, or who, is he talking about?
Under these conditions, the motion for impeachment will be presented by the Insoumis deputies to the bureau of the National Assembly in accordance with Article 68 of the Constitution.
And any proposal for a prime minister other than Lucie Castets will be subject to a motion of censure.
The gravity of the moment calls for a firm response from French society against the incredible abuse of autocratic power of which it is the victim.
The Insoumis movement proposes that marches for the respect of democracy take place.
It expresses the wish that all organizations attached to democracy unite to face and compel the president to recognize the result of the elections."

Is this good bad or what?
“It expresses the wish that all organizations attached to democracy unite to face and compel the president to recognize the result of the elections.”
From my amatuer point of view it seems good...didn’t Macron lose a bunch of seats then saddled up with the leftists to gain a majority??
This seems to be the people who won the election yet are now in the minority due to Macron’s tactics, standing up and say “We intend to be recognized for our winning election results”
Sort of like DJT the first time around saying they were trying to deny Americans the representation they won at the polls in 2016- and he was right...
The Commies formed an alliance with Macron to prevent Le Pen from winning. Macron has now double crossed the Commies to stay in power himself. Long term it should be good for Le Pen because Commies may how think twice about making a deal with Macron.
Heck Vichy Collaborator Frog Macron will just arrest 'em as Nazis normally do.
Thanks for the take on it. I have no idea how these idiots run their government.
New Popular Front is super, SUPER far-left.
It’s gonna get ugly.
Oh good. More Joy. Do I need an /s anymore?
