‘Search for a Goldilocks govt in a parliament of bears’: Will Macron find ‘new way through’ impasse?

French President Emmanuel Macron is seeking to swiftly appoint a new prime minister to replace Michel Barnier, the shortest-serving prime minister in modern French history. As the political turmoil in France further weakens a European Union already reeling from the implosion of Germany’s coalition government, FRANCE 24’s Stuart Norval welcomes fellow journalist Catherine Norris Trent and Dr Andrew Smith, Historian of modern France and Lecturer in Liberal Arts at Queen Mary University of London.

  1. It seems governments are continually trying to solve problems that they are themselves responsible for.

  2. How many people are going to keep misreporting history? The National Rally won the popular vote by 12%!
    The Left did not win the popular vote, they won the most seats because of tactical voting

  3. That poor man stuck between Russia media outlets attempting to assert Russian interests with Brussels’ control failing. The U.S. sympathizes with the position. The Presidency is truly the only stable institution at the moment in this cross continent clashes.

  4. Martin Schultz, the snorting and snarling parasite wildboar of E.U.S.S.R., reeking of rotten sauerkraut, tried to screw Marine Le Pen, the modern Joan Of Arc of France.
    With the help of the disgusting slimy croaking traditional sorosian froggies. But in his brain made of slurry turd, he forgot that there are dignified superior aryan resistants.

  5. One reason for Macron's difficulties, which I rarely heard mentioned, is that allying himself either with the left or the right will mean giving up on his reforms of the retirement system. After all the troubles that effort caused, it would be very surprising that he would accept that. In addition, neither the left nor the right seem ready to address France's fiscal crisis, instead preferring posturing to their base. Admittedly, if either the left or the right decided to actually govern that would mean giving the upper hand to the other side who would continue their populist stance.
