The political crisis in Paris, which is all discounting, is primarily a defeat by Emmanuel Macron who was indifferent to the dysfunctions of the country’s political system. Comment by Costa Argyrou. Many may have been forgotten, but when in 2017 Emmanuel Macron was ejected as a “son of the sun” at the top of the French political scene, this was nothing more than the end of the end of the traditional French bipartisanship. Social Democrats and conservatives almost exhausted, as the former banker’s magical figure gave birth to many expectations for a new, “post -political” and certainly a more cosmopolitan venture, advertising himself as a “apostate” and parties.

So tall, so far away

Macron only needed himself and his stage presence to make France “Great” again. He did not need parties to keep his compatriots close to him and to make the big nation respected and enviable throughout Europe. That’s how he thought. As a young Icarus found so close to the sun he did not feel that his wings were gradually began to melt. He should have understood it at the latest in 2024, when first in the European elections and then in the elections he saw society turning his back on his back. Today, more than a year later, only 15% say satisfied with him.

This Monday, the vote of confidence, which, as it all seems to be, will not receive the fourth within these months of Prime Minister François Bairou, will not just be the beginning of a drama with an unknown outcome, as many prophesied.

It will be the elimination of Macronism itself, two years before the end of his normal term, which he imagined to end gloriously and apparently hoped that he would give him the ability to select him calmly at the right time to give his ring.

There is no room for such luxuries. The political landscape looks like moving sand. Those who go to take his place accuse him of spending his time, either on planes traveling outside France, or in palaces that remain inaccessible to the average French citizen. The once charismatic became merely inaccessible.

At the same time, far -right Zordan Bardela walks around one agricultural exhibition to another and tells desperate farmers that he has both time and open ears for their anxieties. He promises to continue to do so in the coming months when he has become … Prime Minister.

The country of angry

Anger and frustration determine political developments in France. Next Wednesday, two days after the critical vote in the House, the plan of the “angry” is to literally paralyze the country, which has long been politically paralyzed.

Plans like those of Bairo, like today’s France to Greece of the crisis as the “Europe of Europe” the only thing they can do is to further the rage of the country’s downfall.

“What will the French president do?” Everyone wonders. Will he look for another prime minister with the same agenda? Will he put water in his wine? Will he play all the crown-letters again, going to the election? Or does he finally give up himself, leading the drama to absolute climax?

Macron himself seems undecided. He knows that none of the above is a real solution, for problems that have accumulated for decades and not all of his own creations. But he treated them with a spectacular negligence (or naivety), as if he had an infinite time at his disposal. He is looking for salvation again in initiatives that want to highlight his value as a world -leader, who does not hesitate to upset his breasts against the bloodthirsty “predator” he hears in the name of Vladimir Putin.

Rhetoric does not fill anyone

The German press, however, observes that, regardless of lionism, French aid to Ukraine is a very small fraction that has given Berlin. Like the number of Ukrainian refugees in France is … funny, if compared to those in Germany. Macron continues to confuse the pretense of determination with the essence, Der Spiegel commented these days. “France is a great power only in its president’s words.” But rhetoric does not pay for debt, does not fill hungry, it does not move machines.

“Macron is a player who overcame his abilities and lost,” commented the correspondent in Paris, Die Zeit.

All of this sounds hard, especially when they come from German stylings. But much tougher is what the French far -right is firmly stated and makes the rest of Europe shake: “On September 8 we have the opportunity to end with the long period.” The tragic for the French president is that most of his compatriots agree with this phrase.
