France’s Macron To Appoint His Eighth Prime Minister by Friday – Failing President Pressured To Call Snap Elections or To Resign | The Gateway Pundit | by Paul Serran
AI-Generated Image by Grok: French president Emmanuel Macron hopes to weather the political storm.
Eighth time is the charm?
As we fully expected, political scape artist Emmanuel Macron is clinging to power, ready to burn the French Republic to the ground in order to rule over the ashes.
Only 14% trust failing Macron, while 82% do not.
Even though his last chosen Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu lasted less than a month, and the last cabinet of ministers lasted less than a day, Macron is going to try, try again.
Macron will try, try again.
A new prime minister – Macron’s eighth – is to be chosen until Friday.
The presidential office stated that ‘a majority of lawmakers were against holding a snap parliamentary election’.
Lecornu has met with establishment political leaders in an effort to overcome the crisis.

Reuters reported:
“’A majority of deputies oppose dissolution (of parliament); a platform for stability exists; a path is possible to adopt a budget by December 31’, the Elysee presidential office said, citing Lecornu’s conclusions.
‘On this basis, the President of the Republic will appoint a Prime Minister within the next 48 hours’.”

Lecornu wouldn’t say who that eighth prime minister could be – it’s up to Macron to decide.
“’I feel a path is still possible’, Lecornu said of efforts to find a deal to adopt a 2026 budget and give France, the euro zone’s second-largest economy, some financial stability.”
Striking a deal will be difficult, but Lecornu believes that the prospects of a snap parliamentary election are receding.
“’I told the President of the Republic … that I believe the situation allows for him to appoint a prime minister in the next 48 hours’, Lecornu said.”
