Will it end in a tragedy or burlesque? “France has become non-relief”

Glowing to the resignation of France Prime Minister Sebastien Lecorn is a shocking gesture that shows that the state has become impossible to rule – said the German daily “Die Welt” on Tuesday. It was emphasized that populists gain in the crisis and the existence of a political center is threatened.

The French political crisis is largely the result of the decision of President Emmanuel Macron, “Die Welt” believes. As noted, it was Macron that “created an Italian situation”, solving in June 2024 parliament and announcing early elections.

In the opinion of the newspaper, “French farce” has been going on since the last parliamentary elections. “Is everything going to the tragedy? Will it remain a bourgeois tragedy? Will the situation tilt towards Burleski?” – asks the daily.

In “Die Welt” it was assessed that There is a “unhealthy pace and confusion” in Paris. “From Friday, it was expected that on Sunday evening a new government would be presented, which took place with a solemn pump of the solemn presentation of the composition of the office. France went to sleep with these paintings and sounds in the head. To find out the next day that the new government is again resigned” – we read in the diary.

It was noted that the political center is getting weaker, and the populists on the left and right sides of the stage gain in the crisis. “You don't have to study political science to predict who will benefit from this confusion,” Die Welt added.

Commentators assessed that Macron is facing a choice between successive elections and further functioning without a stable majority. Both scenarios, as the daily writes, carry a serious risk for him. “The president will have to decide if he wants to go down in history as the one who paved the way to Jean-Marie Le Pena heirs,” noted Die Welt.

The newspaper concludes that France was in a deep system crisis, and Macron's ability to carry out the necessary reforms seems “more than questionable.”

On Monday morning, Lecorn resigned. Then Macron entrusted him with a mission of conversations, the purpose of which is to “define the plane for activities and stability for the country.” Lecorn's last chance has time until Wednesday evening. (PAP)
