Macron faces the challenge: New Prime Minister after crisis!

Frankreich - France is on the edge of a political earthquake! President Emmanuel Macron will appoint a new prime minister on Friday morning after Michel Barnier declared his resignation last week. The country's political landscape is shaken and the tension increases immeasurably!

The Elysee Palace has announced: "The new prime minister will be announced tomorrow morning." Macron hastily returned from his trip to Poland to clarify the situation. Barnier, who was only in office for three months - the shortest term of office of a prime minister in modern French history - resigned after both the extreme rights and the left had voted against his government. France is already experiencing the second major political crisis within just six months!

Who are the candidates on the executive chair?

Speculation about Barnier's successor is in full swing, but the potential candidates are under fire! Macron’s favorite, the experienced center politician François Bayrou, causes excitement on the left side, which is afraid of a continuation of Macron's policy. The right is also not very enthusiastic, especially the former President Nicolas Sarkozy has made his aversion to Bayrou clear.

But Bayrou is not the only candidate! Former Socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, the current Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu, a loyal Macron supporter, and former Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian are also discussed. And then there is Roland Lucure, who is also under discussion as a former Minister of Industrial.

public anger and political uncertainty

The public mood is tense! Polls show that the French have enough of the crisis. Over two thirds of the respondents in an Elabe survey demand that politicians reach an agreement instead of overthrowing a new government. But trust in the political class is low - many do not believe that an agreement is possible.

In a separate ifop survey, Marine Le Pen, the leader of the extreme right, is called 35 percent support in the first ballot of a future presidential election-far from her possible opponents! It is "not unhappy" that her party has not been included in the government negotiations and apparently benefits from the chaos instead of blame for the last vote.

Macron is under pressure! After he had scheduled elections this year that turned out to be mistakes, the opposition parties even demand his resignation. But the president remains steadfast and explains in a television speech that he will remain until the end of his five -year term in May 2027. The political future of France is uncertain and the eyes of the nation are aimed at tomorrow's decision!
