french president Emmanuel Macron has vowed to see out his term, which concludes in 2027, despite a recent no-confidence vote that ousted his Prime Minister. In a televised address delivered Thursday night, Macron accused lawmakers of prioritizing political maneuvering over the well-being of the French people.
The no-confidence vote, which targeted Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government, came after the national Assembly rejected the proposed budget. Macron, who dissolved the National Assembly in June, a move that triggered a political crisis, acknowledged that his decision was “misunderstood” but defended his commitment to fulfilling his mandate.
“Many people blamed me for this decision and I know many continue to do so,” Macron stated. “This is reality and this is my duty.” He went on to criticize the lawmakers who voted against Barnier’s government, accusing them of engaging in “anti-Republican resistance” and prioritizing the upcoming 2027 presidential election over the needs of the nation.
“Why are these MPs acting like this? They don’t think about you, about your income, about your projects, they think about one thing only – about the presidential elections, to prepare them, to speed them up, and with cynicism and a certain sense of chaos,”
Macron pledged to appoint a new Prime Minister within days, emphasizing the urgent need to pass a budget. He indicated that a special law would be introduced to address the budget gap until a full budget coudl be passed early next year.
“We cannot afford division or stagnation,” Macron said, adding: “That is why I will appoint a prime minister in the next few days.”
The French President directly addressed the public, asserting his commitment to serving his full term and rejecting calls for his resignation. “Five years is the mandate you democratically gave me and I will use it until the end,” Macron declared. He condemned the actions of the lawmakers who brought down the government just days before christmas, calling their behavior “careless.”
“I will never accept the carelessness of others, and especially the parliamentarians who chose to bring down the budget and the French government a few days before Christmas.”
please provide me with the context or the question you would like me to answer. I need more facts to understand what you’d like me to do.
For example, you could ask me:
* **To write something:** ”Can you write me a short story about a robot who learns to feel emotions?”
* **To answer a question:** “What is the capital of
France?”
* **To summarize text:** “Can you summarize the main points of this article about climate change?”
* **To translate:** “Can you translate ‘Hello, how are you?’ into Spanish?”
I’m excited to help!
