‘Lame Duck’ Macron Clings to Power After Another French Government Collapses, as a Top Ally Now Demands He Resign To Stop Deepening Political Crisis

Calls for Macron’s resignation have gone mainstream.

After his seventh chosen Prime Minister resigned a month after being appointed and just hours after presenting the ‘new cabinet’, French President Emmanuel Macron is in the deepest crisis of his troublesome mandate.

The British Times writes that Macron has become a ‘lame duck running out of options.’

French newspaper Le Monde adds that Macron faces a hard choice of three scenarios: 1) appoint a new prime minister, 2) dissolve the National Assembly again and hold elections, or 3) – in the worst case – resign himself.

Reuters reported:

“France’s President Emmanuel Macron faced growing pressure on Tuesday to resign or hold a snap parliamentary election to end political chaos that has forced the resignation of five prime ministers in less than two years.

The 47-year-old centrist president has repeatedly said he will see out his second term, which ends in 2027.

But resignation calls, long confined to the fringes, have entered the mainstream during one of the worst political crises since the 1958 creation of the Fifth Republic, France’s current system of government.”

France
UK
Germany

Europe is falling apart. And they seem to want to go to war against Russia. I’m not sure that’s going to fix anything.

Humphrey Bogart’s ghost in the movie Play It Again, Sam (with Woody Allen):

“Everybody understands a slap in the face or a slug from a .45”.

A color revolution in France? Wouldn’t that be ironic given all the mischief the French have helped organize in Eastern Europe.

The older folks need to be made to understand the younger folks are taxed to the max and the rich folks have feet and are mobile. Perfume and luxury goods can made and sold from many countries.

“France
UK
Germany”

They thought Muslims from backward countries were going to pay the bills.

That was a very stupid idea.

Macron will name, but not select.

Selection is way above his pay grade.
