As a country with staggering debt and a widening inequality gap, who or what can save France from itself?

It is unfortunate to lose a prime minister, but losing six in eight years is outright negligent.

Nevertheless, since he took office in 2017, the French President Emmanuel Macron lost half dozen prime minister, each of which he personally appointed.

Francois Bayrou, a 74 -year -old centrifier, is the last injured after the vote of confidence in Parliament after only nine months.

However, what makes this last departure even more remarkable is that Bayrou, who calls ‘Back Me or Make Me’ vote, is that it is not likely to win. Political rival Marine Le Pen described it as ‘political suicide’.

Apparently, the Bayrou sought a vote to gather a hurried parliamentary and facily parliament behind the recommended 44 billion € (£ 38 billion).

Bayrou, the leader of a minority coalition government, needs inter -party support to get anything through the grilled French Parliament.

‘The life of the nation is in danger,’ he begged. However, these words fell into the deaf ears last night, and now recently joined Axed PMS, including former Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier.

And so, with a brewing in danger and populism on both left and right, who or what can he save France from him?

The truth is that the country has been living beyond its vehicles for decades. National debt is 114 percent of GDP (96.1 percent in the UK), the budget deficit is 5.8 percent of GDP.

These figures show the disaster lack of budget discipline and even remain under the EU’s own financial rules. (France is the second largest economy behind Germany in the euro zone.)

France’s uncontrolled public expenditures did not result in freedom, equality and brotherhood.

Most of the French citizens – the majority – a life is facing crisis costs, frequent job losses, and is obliged to monitor the inequality gap, institutional Juggernauts and those in the rudder of ordinary workers.

Millions of people are preparing to participate in strikes that are likely to turn into an intense period of civil unrest in autumn and winter – a country -wide ‘Block France’ protest was announced on Wednesday and the police are afraid of widespread rebellion.

Undoubtedly, the disorder will benefit from the left and the hard right. Both see the discontent as the way to the success of the election.

Probably the possibility of making the biggest profit is that Marine Le Pen has only 123 out of 577 chairs, but the hard national rally, the largest party of the National Assembly.

However, for a long time, the presidency was found guilty of passing money in March this year and stood in the elections for five years. Since then, he has objected to the conviction, but he does not inspire trust.

Meanwhile, as a neutering parliament argues with him, Emmanuel Macron continues to rule with the Presidential Decree and jumps the parliament to force his own agenda.

French president is ridiculous strong. He can appoint everyone he loves as prime minister – even some of Macron’s PMs are even selected politicians.

Cabinet ministers can also be appointed because they are close friends and even corporate affinity.

It should not be surprising that Macron looked at the indifference of Napoleon as Bayrou’s head was toppled from the famous guillotine last night.

While Macron continues to use the real power, he may find another lame duck to get the title of the country’s internal affairs nominal prime minister.

In France turmoil, but the non -popular Macron will continue to blame everyone else for the chronic weakness that seized French politics.

I believe that with a winter discontent on the horizon, France should now be prepared for the completely renewal of the whole political system.

Perhaps even the establishment of a new sixth republic with a new constitution strengthened the parliament and reduced the presidential power.

This may be the only thing that can save France itself.
