  1. Submission Statement: Emmanuel Macron reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister after he led a government that lasted 836 minutes. The French president is facing growing pressure to call new elections or resign. There is no indication that Lecornu will fare better this time. The latest poll shows Macron with an approval rating of only 14%. France’s debt has ballooned to 4 trillion USD, and the government has warned that without reforms (which sunk the previous French governments), France will soon have a full-blown debt crisis and may need an IMF Bailout.

  2. Both the RN under Jordan Bardella and the LFI under Jean-Luc Mélenchon have ridiculed the reappointment of Lecornu as prime minister.

  3. Internal Criticism keeps rising? Government collapses yet again? Looks like it’s time for Macron to focus even harder on the ~~Jews~~ Israel!
