This Monday, the French President, Emmanuel Macron, announced that refused to rule with The New Popular Presence, the Union of left, and late the round of consultation that will start again this Tuesday.

Macron justified his decision by saying that the government formed by the New Popular Front would be “Immediately noticed by the rest of the group”and its purpose is to obtain the “constitutional stability of France”, thus judging the leftist candidate for Prime Minister, Lucie Castets.

Starting Wednesday, August 27, opened a new round of consultations with parliamentary leaders and calls, once again, on all politicians “to rise to the occasion by showing the spirit of responsibility”, as he already recalled in mid-July in the letter he wrote to France.

After the statement, the reactions through the social network ‘X’ were immediate. On the left, the environmental leader, Marine Tondelier, called the president’s statement “shameful.” The Communist leader, Fabien Roussel, called for the mobilization of the population against this decision and refused to go to a new round of consultations, and the founder of La Francia Insumisa, Jean-Luc Melenchon, He went ahead with the threat of taking disciplinary action against the right: “The President of the Republic has just created a critical situation. (…) The impeachment motion will be presented. When the time comes, “There will be censorship by the right-wing government.”.

Last Friday, Emmanuel Macron ended his Olympic campaign to attend ‘tool of gold’ that will bring stability and confidence to a France that is in uncertainty. During the first day of the consultations, the Republicans, the LIOT group and representatives of the radical left paraded through the Elysee Palace. This Monday it’s far-right time Marine Le Pen and your fish, Jordan Bardellaamong others. The scenario is difficult and uncertain for the President, because no party won the majority in the last early legislative elections, but after two days of consultations and two days before the start of the council. Paralympic Games, France settled (even more) in political limbo.

Insoumise France announces a disciplinary motion

The national president of La Francia insumisa, Manuel Bompard, announced in a statement that The party will present a motion of censure against Macron: “will be presented by the rebel representatives in the National Assembly based on the article 68 of the law”, to oppose, as they say, “abuse of power.”

This article allows the National Assembly to remove the president for “failure to fulfill his duties clearly inconsistent with the exercise of his authority.” Something that the president had already expected, since the group has threatened several times to take advantage of this article if Macron rejects the candidate, Lucie Castets. Although, they were not supported by the rest of the groups that made up the New Elite Front.

In the statement Bompard threatens that “any proposal for the position of Prime Minister other than Lucie Castets will be the subject of a movement of sanctions.” Although at this point nothing is impossible, The ratification of article 68 will be complexSince it should be shown that the President has failed to fulfill his political, but also private, duties, and that “his actions have harmed the dignity of his office,” the government’s website said.

France fell into political uncertainty

Since last July 7, France has been living under a The political blockade is difficult to solve. Although the law does not set deadlines for the head of state to appoint a prime minister, the patience of the parliamentary parties and France is beginning to run out.

Macron cannot use the wild card of the dissolution of the Assembly again for another year, and if he does not manage to correct this ban, another card to play has been “science” government. A political administration in which members of that government are chosen for their technical and scientific experience, rather than their political affiliation.

Unlike Italy or Greece, France has never had a “technical government”. in the strict sense of the word, although the Prime Minister has been appointed in other legislatures for their technical experience.
