President Emmanuel Macron has reiterated his intention to remain in office until the end of his term in 2027, despite current political unrest in France.
He also made the bold announcement that he will name a new prime minister within days after Michel Barnier’s resignation, which followed his removal from office due to a National Assembly vote of no confidence.
The “historic” no-confidence vote has placed France in a temporary political limbo. Macron blamed the situation on opposition groups, including far-right parties for undermining Barnier’s administration. “They chose disorder,” Macron said, adding that the far right and far left had formed “an anti-Republican front”.
Macron has committed to naming a new Prime Minister within days, although he has not disclosed any potential candidates. Speaking in the aftermath of the no-confidence vote, Macron admitted to his own “responsibility” for the political turmoil that has unsettled both the nation and financial markets. Earlier, the Elysee presidential palace confirmed Macron had “taken note” of Barnier’s resignation. Until a new government is appointed, Barnier and his ministers will continue managing “current affairs,” according to the statement.
