Michel Barnier presents his resignation to Macron as Prime Minister of France after losing the motion of censure

Michel Barnier presented his resignation as Prime Minister this morning at the Elysee Palace before the French President, Emmanuel Macron. He has done so less than 24 hours after the motion of censure presented by the left and supported by the extreme right for their disagreement with the Social Security Budgets presented by the Government.

France is now left without an Executive in a panorama full of uncertainty and instability. Macron, who must now name a new prime minister, will address the public this Thursday at eight p.m. in a televised speech.

The president began consultations with the different political groups for the appointment of a new head of Government even before the motion of censure and it is expected that this Thursday continue the conversations. lyou French socialists, for example, want Macron to seek “text-by-text” compromises. The Rebellious France of Jean-Luc MelenchonInstead, he wants the president to resign.

That line is followed by the president of the extreme left group in the National Assembly, Mathilde Panothas emphasized that the motion of censure with which Barnier fell constitutes “an overwhelming failure” for Macron. “The person responsible for the chaos we are experiencing now is called Macron,” Panot said in an interview with the LCI channel, who has once again demanded that he resign and noted that “we are not the only ones,” since some have also done so. right-wing personalities such as Jean-François Copé or Charles de Courson.

The head of the deputies of the Mélenchonista party has warned that if the president appoints another personality from the right or the center right, they will organize a motion of censure again as soon as possible.

The appointment of a new prime minister by Macron, therefore, will not solve the situation of political instability that France lives. The legislative elections last July produced results that have plunged the country into political blockade with a National Assembly divided into three main blocs, the Popular Front, made up of left-wing parties; the center, made up of liberal or moderate conservative formations, and the extreme right of Le Pen’s National Rally, the party with the most deputies (124).
