French President is anticipated to announce a new prime minister following the recent government upheaval by MPs. The political landscape remains intricate due to a divided lower house split among leftist, centrist, conservative, and far-right factions. Suggestions for Macron to think outside the box and bring in fresh faces have emerged. The previous prime minister was ousted in a confidence vote, leaving a temporary administration to manage essential tasks until a new budget is in place. Lawmakers are expected to support the interim financial plan. Macron’s return from Poland is expected to herald the new appointment, with the decision-making process influenced by both policy and personality factors. The debate includes the contentious 2023 pensions reform and potential candidates for the prime ministerial position. While mainstream parties differ on crucial issues, the search for consensus continues. Parties excluded from recent talks criticize the ongoing negotiations as a sign of weakness. Polls indicate a desire for political stability but also reflect limited trust in the political class. Meanwhile, the far-right party leader seems content to observe the turmoil from the sidelines.
