France is facing months of tumbling after the government fall

Searches for the fall of the government France a new prime minister. President Emmanuel Macron wants to receive the failed Premier François Bayrou today in order to accept the resignation of his minority government, as it was said from the Élysée Palace. The head of state would then want to determine a successor in the next few days. Because the political crisis also puts Macron under pressure and the country is facing a wave of strikes and protest, the head of state wants to put pace in the decision. The European press classifies the events like this:

“The willingness of a effort to do the necessary seems to have largely come to a standstill in France. One of the first prerequisites for an effective policy is a consensus about what is actually the problem. In Paris there is no. The radical link block does not even share the analysis of President Emmanuel Macron, according to which France wants to have a gigant financial problem. Especially new elections to gain more power themselves.

This is where France is increasingly in the area of ​​tension between two forces: the angry voters who do not want to give anything, and the financial markets who lose their confidence in the stability of French state finances. In a democratic country with high state debt, a government has to listen to both sides. “

“Dagen’s nyheter”Sweden:

“France’s president is the driving force behind the ‘coalition of the willing’ and the idea that Europe has to provide Soldiers to secure peace in Ukraine. But can he deliver it himself? At the moment, he doesn’t even manage to get a household on the way. And what happens to Macron? The racial nationally-xenophobic, EU opponent, formerly sponsored by Wladimir Putin the threshold to power. “

“President Emmanuel Macron had triggered the unstable political situation in France by convening an unnecessary election, which led to a three -part division between the National Assembly between the left, the middle and the extreme right. Now he is looking for another politician who is ready to sacrifice himself as prime minister for austerity. Raced nationally, fulfillment and his second five -year term, which officially lasts until 2027, to end early. “

“The crisis in France weakens the EU. The resignation of Bayrou (…) deepens the political paralysis (…) and moves urgently necessary reforms that are supposed to prevent the economic collapse of one of the driving forces in Europe. (…) He also deprives Emmanuel Macron Political oxygen: The president is already losing the fourth head of government of his term.

The resignation forces Macron to two scenarios to try the squaring of the circle in a national assembly between the radical right and the radical left -wing. Either he is looking for a consensus figure that can win the support of conservatives (Les Républicains) and socialists (PS) who are hostile today (…). Or he relies on new elections that could end in a further blockade or with the victory Marine Le Pens.

The new crisis confirms the structural problem of French politics to enforce unpopular but indispensable cuts – at a moment when the renewal of Europe demands fiscal discipline. Especially since it is about a shift in priorities – including higher defense spending – that not only requires stability, but also the leadership role of Paris. “

“Hospodarske Noviny”Czech Republic:

“In Paris there is a crisis of political will. The French political system has been based on almost 70 years that a party with a majority has been there. A tradition of the search for compromises, however, completely lacks. But the forces have been distributed since the parliamentary election last year that none of the parties have a majority. before. (…)

If no wonder does not happen – there is no other way than that of a more responsible state economy. The fact that the economy in France grows only weakly and the state expects a high deficit may well go for a few years, but it is not sustainable. Will France find a politician who not only presents the right diagnosis, as François Bayrou did, but also manages to assert himself with it? “
