French President Emmanuel Macron is facing a political rollercoaster as efforts to appoint a new prime minister hit roadblocks. In a televised address Thursday, Macron vowed to name a PM 'in the coming days,' but experts say the task is like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions 🛠️ – complicated and messy.
Why the Hold-Up?
Shen Wei, a politics scholar at Zhejiang University, notes Macron's weakened position: 'The National Assembly lacks unity, and public confidence in his leadership is slipping faster than a TikTok trend.' With rival parties holding significant seats, finding a consensus candidate feels nearly impossible.
What’s Next for France?
Macron’s centrist alliance risks becoming a political island if he can’t secure support. Analysts compare the situation to Squid Game – alliances shift, and no one’s truly safe. Meanwhile, reforms on pensions and climate policies hang in the balance, leaving young voters and professionals anxious about the economic ripple effects 🌊.
