Macron Prepares for Political Shift Post-Olympics

Published: 2024-08-06

As the Olympic Games unfold, French President Emmanuel Macron is strategizing for his next move in government.

With a focus on both the sporting successes and the political landscape, Macron is preparing to appoint a new Prime Minister once the Olympic truce ends.

However, he faces challenges due to a lack of majority in the National Assembly, complicating his ability to impose his choice.

Meanwhile, potential candidates like Xavier Bertrand are waiting for a signal from Macron, aware that the President prefers not to be pressured.

The political situation remains tense, with critics arguing that Macron must act decisively to form a government and address pressing issues, rather than waiting for party consensus that may never come.
