France teeters on the brink of political crisis as far-right demands early elections and threatens government collapse
France is currently embroiled in a significant political turmoil that could lead to a dramatic shift in the country’s leadership.
The far-right forces, especially the “National Rally” party led by Marine Le Pen, are openly calling for the removal of the current government and the organization of new parliamentary elections.
This development occurs amid a deepening political crisis and the threat of Prime Minister François Bayrou’s government falling, caused by internal conflicts and inability to reach compromises on budget issues and reforms.
In recent weeks, far-right leaders, including Jordan Bardella, have been sharply criticizing the Prime Minister’s policies, citing their inefficiency and potential harm to France’s future.
The atmosphere of uncertainty and prolonged political deadlock significantly heightens the risk of new elections, which many politicians consider inevitable.
The escalation of tensions is further complicated by judicial proceedings against some far-right leaders, potentially hindering their political ambitions.
President Emmanuel Macron currently refrains from publicly intervening in internal political conflicts, but the situation is rapidly becoming uncontrollable.
Meanwhile, Bayrou’s government announced plans to cut expenditures and raise taxes to stabilize the budget, but these measures are unpopular among opposition forces.
The country is entering a period of instability and potential early elections that could reshape the political landscape and usher in a new era of uncertainty.
