Macron's Authority Crumbles Amid Political Chaos

Published: 2024-07-15

French President Emmanuel Macron faces a political crisis as his authority wanes following a controversial dissolution of the National Assembly.

The lack of a clear majority has plunged the country into uncertainty, with no new prime minister in sight.

Macron's recent letter to the French people, calling for a 'solid, necessarily plural majority,' has been met with skepticism from opposition leaders.

Meanwhile, infighting within Macron's own camp has intensified, with key figures like Gabriel Attal and Gérald Darmanin vying for power.

The President, described by some supporters as 'burned out,' now stands isolated, struggling to maintain control over his fractured party and the political landscape.
