France in Turmoil: Government Collapse and Political Uncertainty

French President Emmanuel Macron faces a political crisis after his party lost its majority in snap elections, leading to a hung parliament and the fall of Prime Minister Michel Barnier over a budget dispute. Macron must quickly appoint a new prime minister to navigate the complex parliamentary landscape and pass a crucial budget by year-end. The situation is complicated by the rise of far-right and far-left parties, and the lack of a coalition-building tradition in France, putting Macron's leadership and economic reforms at risk.

Macron's Diplomatic Efforts to Resolve French Political Deadlock

French President Emmanuel Macron met with leaders of all political parties, including his opponents, in an effort to break the deadlock of a hung parliament. Macron expressed a desire for open and direct discussions aimed at working together for the benefit of voters. The possibility of organizing referendums on various issues, such as immigration or education, was discussed. Macron's minority government has faced challenges since passing unpopular pension reforms earlier this year, and he is seeking to avoid further blockages by exploring alternative avenues for decision-making.
