France’s Macron Races to Name New PM Amid Crisis

French President Emmanuel Macron is under pressure to name a new Prime Minister within 48 hours to resolve a deepening political crisis. This follows the resignation of his previous PM, Sebastien Lecornu, who served for less than a month. The new appointee will be the eighth prime minister of Macron's presidency. The core challenge remains passing an austerity budget through a deeply divided parliament where Macron's centrist party lacks a majority. Lecornu's two immediate predecessors were also ousted over the same budget dispute. The far-right National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, has vowed to "vote against everything" proposed by any new government, complicating the path forward. Macron is expected to announce the new prime minister, and possibly a cabinet, by Friday evening as he seeks to stabilize his government.

L’instabilité française relance le débat sur le semi-présidentialisme

Depuis la dissolution de l’Assemblée nationale par Emmanuel Macron en juin 2024, la France connaît une série d’instabilités politiques inédites. En un an, trois Premiers ministres – Michel Barnier, François Bayrou et Sébastien Lecornu – se sont succédé sans parvenir à stabiliser la gouvernance. Le président disposait pourtant d’une majorité parlementaire avant cette décision, prise au lendemain de la défaite de son parti aux élections européennes. Un choix largement perçu comme émotionnel plutôt que stratégique, qui a conduit à de nouvelles législatives perdues et à l’émergence d’une majorité hostile à l’Assemblée. Dans un régime semi-présidentiel comme celui de la France, la cohabitation devient alors inévitable : le chef de l’État est contraint de nommer un Premier ministre issu de la majorité parlementaire. Or Emmanuel Macron refuse ce schéma, préférant imposer ses propres choix, ce qui accentue les blocages institutionnels. Un […]

 France’s Prime Minister Resigns After Just One Month

France has been plunged into a fresh political crisis after Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, just one month after his appointment. This marks the shortest tenure for a French prime minister in modern history. The resignation was triggered by a fierce backlash against his newly announced cabinet, particularly from the right-wing Republicans party, whose support was crucial in the divided parliament. The party's vice-president stated they would not offer the government a "final lap," leading to the collapse of Lecornu's administration. Lecornu had faced the difficult task of pushing an austerity budget through a hostile parliament, a challenge that had ousted his two immediate predecessors. His resignation deepens the political deadlock that has gripped France since the 2024 legislative elections resulted in a hung parliament. President Emmanuel Macron, who accepted the resignation, has not yet announced his next […]

Macron to Unveil New, Smaller French Government This Weekend

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to name a new, smaller government this weekend under Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, according to sources. This move aims to address France's ongoing political crisis and manage its high public debt. The new cabinet is expected to be announced on Saturday or Sunday. It will be a leaner team of about 20 to 25 ministers, a significant reduction from the previous 35. An outgoing minister confirmed "there will be many departures" and only "three or four arrivals." Key figures like Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot and Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau are expected to keep their posts. However, Economy Minister Eric Lombard, linked to unpopular austerity measures, is likely to be replaced. The future of Culture Minister Rachida Dati, who faces a corruption trial, remains uncertain. This new government is Macron's latest attempt to resolve a […]

Islamic States, European Powers Rally Behind Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

A coalition of Muslim-majority nations and European powers on Monday backed a plan by US President Donald Trump aimed at ending the war in Gaza — a proposal that has already drawn criticism from some Palestinians as a “farce.” The joint statement of support came from Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Pakistan. The countries said they welcomed Trump’s “sincere efforts” and pledged readiness to work with the United States and other parties to secure implementation. The backing marks a rare moment of alignment, with Saudi Arabia’s stance seen as especially significant as it considers normalisation with Israel — a priority for both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who endorsed the plan and warned Hamas of more devastation if it refused. European allies also lined up behind Trump’s proposal. French President Emmanuel […]

France, Cameroun et mémoire coloniale : et le Togo ?

Le 12 août 2025, Emmanuel Macron a officiellement reconnu, dans une lettre adressée à Paul Biya, l’implication de la France dans la guerre coloniale du Cameroun (1945-1971). Cette correspondance s’appuie sur les travaux d’une commission d’historiens franco-camerounais qui a étudié durant près de deux ans le rôle de Paris dans ce conflit, survenu avant et après l’indépendance de 1960. « Une guerre avait eu lieu au Cameroun au cours de laquelle les autorités coloniales et l’armée française ont exercé plusieurs types de violences répressives », écrit le président français, ajoutant qu’il lui « appartient aujourd’hui d’assumer le rôle et la responsabilité de la France dans ces événements ». Cette reconnaissance a suscité des débats en France. Certains saluent une avancée symbolique et politique, après l’Algérie et le Rwanda. D’autres critiquent une démarche jugée insuffisante, ou encore le choix du timing, […]

Putin rejects Western reassurance force in Ukraine after Paris summit

Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed Western proposals for a so-called reassurance force in Ukraine, following a Paris summit that brought together 26 of Kyiv’s allies. The plan, championed by French President Emmanuel Macron, aimed to finalise security guarantees to be activated immediately after a potential ceasefire. Macron said the participating countries had committed to supporting Ukraine by land, sea, or air, but he declined to name which nations were involved. He stressed that the force would not engage in direct combat with Russian troops but would instead act as a buffer to prevent renewed aggression. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the move, calling it the first concrete step toward safeguarding his country’s future. Putin, however, swiftly rejected the initiative. Speaking at an economic forum in Vladivostok, he warned that any foreign soldiers entering Ukraine would be considered legitimate targets. […]

Putin Vows to Target Western Troops if Sent to Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that any Western forces deployed to Ukraine would be considered “legitimate targets” for Russia’s military. His comments came Friday at an economic forum in Vladivostok, a day after Kyiv’s allies announced plans to send troops as part of a potential peace agreement. On Thursday, 26 countries led by France and Britain pledged to join a “reassurance force” on land, at sea, and in the air to monitor any eventual peace deal. The war, which began in February 2022, has already claimed tens of thousands of lives, displaced millions, and devastated much of Ukraine’s east and south. “If some troops appear there, especially now during the fighting, we proceed from the premise that they will be legitimate targets,” Putin said, insisting that foreign deployments would not foster long-term peace. He also blamed Ukraine’s growing military […]

Western Allies Vow Troop Deployment to Ukraine After Ceasefire Deal

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that 26 Western allies have formally committed to deploying troops “by land, sea, or air” to Ukraine once a ceasefire deal is reached. The pledge followed a Paris summit of 35 countries dubbed the Coalition of the Willing. Macron accused Russia of deliberately stalling peace talks to gain more territory. Hopes for a Ukraine-Russia peace summit dimmed after Vladimir Putin met Donald Trump in Alaska last month. Trump has since spoken with Western allies and is expected to finalize US support soon, though he criticized EU states still purchasing Russian oil, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. The EU aims to end Russian oil and gas imports by 2027, but Hungary and Slovakia remain among the bloc’s biggest buyers. While Washington has ruled out sending ground troops, Trump has hinted at possible air support, which could […]
