The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has accused rival political parties of fuelling instability as he brushed aside calls by the opposition for him to resign amid France’s worst political crisis in decades.
“Many of those who have fuelled division and speculation have not risen to the moment,” Macron said of French opposition parties, as he arrived in Egypt on Monday to attend a summit on Gaza. He said rival “political forces” were “solely responsible for this chaos” after they “instigated the destabilisation” of the prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu.
Lecornu, a Macron ally, held his first meeting with France’s new government after he appointed a mix of stalwarts from Macron’s centrist grouping, as well as a few faces from the upper ranks of the civil service and civil society. New arrivals included Jean-Pierre Farandou, who headed the state-run railway, SNCF, and is now labour minister.
The same one who dissolved the assembly and said “I threw a live grenade in their legs [at us, voters] to see how they’ll do” then set a pm from a minority party after the election, then set a pm from a minority party when the previous got censored, then set a pm from his own party when the previous got censored, then set the same pm after he resigned. All of the with the same people in the gov. 4 gov in 1 fucking year, with one gov having the incredible length of 14 hours. Even people from his party that he created are pissed off. Fuck you.
