French President Emmanuel Macron gave the outgoing Prime Minister Sebastian Lecorni by Wednesday night to “designate a platform for action and stability” in a last -ditch attempt to get the country out of the new political impasse to which he was going to seek him out. But in the event of a new failure of the outgoing Prime Minister, the Emmanuel Macron stated that is ready to ‘take responsibility’, according to the French president’s environment with what it entails.
This is a message from the French president who for some is considered a threat to even dismantle the National Assembly.
In a press release earlier, the Champs -Elysee Mansion reported that “The President of the Republic has commissioned Mr Sebastian Lekorni, the outgoing prime minister, the responsibility to lead, by Wednesday night, of the final negotiations, in order to determine a platform for action and stability for the country.”
On his side, Lekorni ‘accepted’ This mission by posting on X. will inform Emmanuel Macron “whether this is possible or not, so that he can draw all the necessary conclusions”.
J’ai Accepté à la demande du président de la république de mener d’ultimes discussions avec forces politiques pour la stabilité du pays.
Je Dirai au chef de l’etat mercredi soir si cela est possible ou non, pour qu’il puisse en tirer toutes les conclusions qui s’imposent.

With the back to the wall Macron
Earlier today, Emmanuel Macron was seen walking and making phone calls by the Seine River on Monday as he examined his choices from now on.
His insistence on Lecorni testifies that he wants to exhaust all room before taking the next crucial step. After all, the crisis in the second largest eurozone economy undermines confidence in both French markets and the euro.
Now Macron is confronted with a series of Unpleasant options: To appoint a new prime minister who will almost certainly fail or call early elections that will probably bring the far -right national alarm closer to power. Or something he said he would never do: to give up.
The French president could now appoint a new prime minister, but anyone from the center -right, the left or even a technocrat would find it difficult to push a divided parliament to agree on a limited budget.
Lecorne’s appointment was Macron’s third attempt to find a way out of the crisis caused by his unfortunate decision to announce early elections last year, resulting in a parliament without a majority, in which Macron’s centrals and his allies control. The Left and the far -right control the remaining two -thirds, but are moving in opposing political directions, suppressing in advance every attempt by successive governments to overcome the impasse in the midst of fiscal crisis.
Fierce reactions
Sebastian Lekorni recognized this political impasse from a very early age and announced his resignation by serving as prime minister of France for only 27 days while his government lasted 14 hours. This is the shortest prime minister in modern France.
In today’s speech he said he did what he could to achieve the necessary compromises, but, as he pointed out, their achievement was impossible for the rigidity of the country’s political actors.
In his statements, Macron’s opponents immediately seized the opportunity with first of all its far -right party National gathering who called on him either to call for new early elections or to resign, while in the whole spectrum of the left, the disobedient France also called for Macron’s departure.
“We are ready to rule,” said National Coalition President Zordan Bardella.
“I invite him to dismantle the National Assembly. We are at the end of the road, ”said the Marin Lepen With the polls steadily showing the national rally ahead of the other political parties, with about 33 to 34% of the votes in possible parliamentary elections. On the contrary, Macron’s party is in third place, with half a percentage of votes. Left candidates are in second place.
“The joke is over, the farce lasted quite a bit … With his irrational battle against the institutions, Emmanuel Macron puts the country in a terribly complex situation,” Lepen said, adding that what is expecting from now on is the dissolution of the National Assembly.
The referral of Emmanuel Macron was requested by Jean-Lyk Melanson, of the far-left party “disobedient France”.
“Following the resignation of Sebastian Lekorni, we call for an immediate examination of the proposal submitted by 104 MPs for the referral of Emmanuel Macron,” he wrote on social media.
Bruno Retaur, outgoing French interior minister and head of the right -wing Les Republicains said that “if there is a deadlock, then we should return to the constituency. But I think there are other ways before we get to it. It’s just not my decision on these ways. “
Everyone is now waiting to hear if Macron will respond by succumbing to the pressure and submitting his resignation, whether he will call new elections or whether he will appoint a new prime minister, if Lecorne eventually fails to get the country out of the political impasse in the next two days.
