With President Emmanuel Macron looking for (and not finding) a parliamentary emergency exit, unions putting up an all-out fight, and protesters increasingly radicalized, France is, without a shadow of a doubt, in a political crisis.

The decision of the French president to put into force by presidential decree the reform of the country’s pension system bypassing the National Assembly – where it has a relative, but not absolute majority of the seats – triggered social anger and political reactions whose outcome is not to the present predictable.

The French president chose the path of presidential decree rather than withdrawing the bill, which in his opinion would be a blow to France’s international credibility. This decision has collectively led the opposition to file motions of impeachment against the government that will be considered tomorrow, Monday.

If one of these proposals is approved, it will take with it the government of Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne and the reform of the pension system, since the presidential decree will be cancelled.

Given the parliamentary weakness, the public opposition to his pension reform proposals and the increasing acts of violence in the streets and squares of France, Emmanuel Macron is undoubtedly going through the most difficult period of his term in the presidency of the Republic.

As is customary in times of crisis in France, at some point the president of the Republic takes the floor and addresses the citizens. As for Emmanuel Macron, many wonder if he will ever speak, but many more wonder what he could say under the current circumstances.

Impeachment motion: The Le Pen factor – When the Macron government can fall

In recent months, the French government has of course been faced with impeachment motions that were rejected, after the parties of the left refused to side with the extreme right. However, one of the latest motions of impeachment has been submitted by a group of independent MPs and they have declared that both the left of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the extreme right of Marine Le Pen will vote for it. If the majority of Republican MPs follow them, then the government will fall and President Macron will then either have to co-exist in the exercise of power with opposition forces, or resign by calling presidential elections, or call new parliamentary elections.

The possibility of new congressional elections scares more than all the Republican congressmen who know that their party presents an image of disintegration and in all probability most of them will not be re-elected.

However, Marine Le Pen made a move that could be described as “political bribery”. She stated that if parliamentary elections are held, her party will not run candidates in the constituencies of the Republican Party deputies who will contribute to the downfall of the Bourne government. This will significantly increase their chances of being re-elected.
