France is currently facing a democratic crisis that has escalated following President Macron’s dissolution of the Assemblée Nationale. This move has left the president and the Assemblée Nationale discredited, with a widespread mistrust of politicians and a divided political landscape. The survey conducted by Ipsos for Le Monde reveals the virtual paralysis of political life, urging Macron to appoint a prime minister and bring about swift change to avoid further deterioration.
The survey sheds light on the rising political mistrust fueled by policy crises and questions of representation. The dissolving of the Assemblée after Macron’s defeat in the European elections has not favored any camp, with the Rassemblement National maintaining a resilient image compared to the La France Insoumise party facing significant rejection.
Each side has questions to ask
As France approaches the appointment of a new prime minister, strategic decisions are crucial. The survey underscores the need for each camp to reconsider their positioning to navigate the current political stalemate effectively.
