‘European vacuum’: Franco-German alliance in trouble at a ‘critical moment for Europe and France’

President Emmanuel Macron is now seeking out a new PM to prevent France from sliding deeper into political turmoil after Michel Barnier’s government was ousted in a historic no-confidence vote in parliament. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on a further weakened EU already reeling from the implosion of Germany’s coalition government, FRANCE 24’s François Picard welcomes Professor Julian Jackson, Emeritus Professor of Modern French History at Queen Mary University of London.

  2. Socialism can only lead to a dictatorship with no King or Queen involved. If I lived in France I would be for The Bonapartist Party whoever that is. Only reason I watch Frances news besides they are an ally of The United States is because my ancestors where given their last name in Brittany France that came from Scandinavia. They where savage Vikings probably all name Ivan 😄and where excellent spearsmen. King Rollo's men. Anyway I hope you guys will get it worked out as we need a strong France, Germany, Italy and Scandinavia over there.

  3. I'm amazed that French people still don’t comprehend that Europe not only does not expect France to lead, but also does not perceive France as a leader. For a long time, the general opinion has been that France does not carry enough weight to handle the challenges facing the EU.

    The real issue in this situation is not the lack of leadership from France, but the additional burden of dealing with the fuss made over their own problems, all while being even less cooperative than usual.

  5. The European vacuum is the right time for the Great English World Empire with Five Eyes to take over Europe and the West will speak English.

  6. With France, Germany, and Britain in shambles, it is time for Italy and hungary to step up for leadership.

  7. Retirement age 62 years. Very generous. Many other countries have much higher retirement ages. Given the reality of modern demographics, the French need to be super productive to justify that.

  8. The French people will never learn. Socialism as n economic theory sounds wonderful. The government will take car of all your needs and financial support you. In the real world it never works
    The money eventually runs out, the government the must raise taxes, cuts services and the people get pissed off.

  10. France and Germany and EU are all remote controlled from somewhere away from Europe and their job is to just approve and follow their masters. Its just surprising that Europe is declining at a very great pace and we are likely to see the end of colonialism, neocolonialism, genocides, wars, massacres, terrorism etc as EU becomes irrelevant tool of colonialism
