The President of France gave a speech where he confirmed that he will complete his mandate and will propose a replacement for Michel Bernier, after the vote of no confidence in Parliament.
In the midst of a political crisis after the overthrow of the prime minister Michael Barnierthe president of France, Emmanuel Macronconfirmed this Thursday that He does not plan to resign and will complete his term until May 2027. He also anticipated that he will announce a candidate to replace Barnier “in the coming days.”
“The mandate they have given me is five years and I will exercise it until the end”advertisement Macron during a 10-minute speech. Regarding the political crisis that his government is going through, the president sought to disassociate himself. “I declare myself responsible for the situation, but I will never assume the irresponsibility of others”, he stated.
Michel Barnier, 73 years old, was dismissed this Wednesday as prime minister of franceby 331 votes in the local parliament (288 are required for the majority), less than 100 days after his appointment. The 2025 budget presented by Macron’s government was also rejected.

The reason that prompted this confluence was the presentation of the Budgetwhere the perspective of fiscal deficit led the ruling party to a double strategy: reduce the public spending and increase taxes on great riches.
The motion of censure against Barnier occurred due to an unprecedented agreement between the extreme right (led by the National Group of Marine Le Pen) and the French left (referenced by the Rebellious Francestarring Jean-Luc Melenchon).
New attempt in mid-December
After the setback in Parliament, Macron announced that will insist again with another budget before the end of the year and claimed to have the votes to approve it.
“A special law will be presented in Parliament before mid-decemberand this temporary law will guarantee the continuity of public services and the life of the country, as provided for in our Constitution,” he anticipated.
“The decisions made in 2024 will apply by 2025, and I have a majority to approve it in Parliament,” he added.
