Macron to Address French Nation after Barnier Resigns
ai generated text
French President Emmanuel Macron will address the nation on Thursday night, following the resignation of Prime Minister Michel Barnier. Barnier resigned after losing a confidence vote in parliament on Wednesday night. Macron has asked Barnier and his government to continue in a caretaker capacity until the appointment of a new government. Names for a new prime minister are being considered, including Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, and centrist former presidential candidate François Bayrou.
We are asking for Emmanuel Macron to go.
There is only one way to get out of this dead end, and that is a snap presidential election.
We cannot lie to the French people by saying there will not be consequences.
You are going to take France deeper into a financial and economic crisis.
This no-confidence motion … will make everything more serious and more difficult. That's what I'm sure of.
I can tell you that it will remain an honour for me to have served France and the French with dignity.
I would have preferred to distribute money, even if we haven't got any. But the reality is there, and it will not disappear by magic through a confidence motion. That reality will be the same for any government, whatever it is.
It's up to his conscience to decide whether he can sacrifice public action and the fate of France to his own pride.
He will do what his reason and conscience dictate. But it is certain that he is … responsible for this situation. There comes a moment when if you do not respect voters, political forces and the result of elections, the pressure on the president will grow greater and greater.
What French person will be able to say that thanks to the fall of the government, thanks to the instability that this will cause, their daily life will improve?
I recommend he decide rapidly on a new prime minister.
I was elected to serve until 2027, and I will fulfill that mandate.
I'm here because I've been elected twice by the French people.
The difficulty now is for President Emmanuel Macron to find someone who can convince a majority in the National Assembly to pass laws.
