Di way Prime Ministers dey change-change for France, dey tok sometin about Macron?
Di resignation of Lecornu mark di fifth time wey goment don collapse for less dan two years.
When Emmanuel Macron new prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, resign on Monday afta just four weeks for di job, e become di shortest-serving prime minister for France Fifth Republic wey dem establish for 1958 under di iconic president, Charles de Gaulle.
Lecornu, wey be centrist like Macron, na di fourth prime minister wey dem force comot because of di strong opposition from di far-right bloc and di leftist alliance for parliament. Dis wahala start afta di French president gamble call for snap elections last year wey no work as e plan.
Macron, wey don get seven prime ministers since e start e two-term tenure for 2017, dey face serious kasala now. E get three options: resign and call for snap presidential election, call another snap parliamentary election, or appoint new prime minister wey fit get support from di far-right bloc or di leftist alliance.
Experts dey talk say di only card wey Macron fit play now na to nominate moderate leftist prime minister, most likely from di Socialist Party. On Tuesday, di Socialist Party leader, Olivier Faure, talk say dem ready to provide prime minister, as e talk say, 'di time don reach to try di left.'
Analysts dey describe di way di prime ministers dey change for France as confusing, even for country wey people sabi say dia politics dey unpredictable. Philip Nord, emeritus professor for Princeton University, talk say di situation dey baffling, and e no sure wetin go happen next.
Denys Kolesnyk, political analyst wey dey Paris, no believe say Macron fit solve di political wahala wey e dey face. E talk say di options wey dey ground no go fit solve di crisis, and appointing new prime minister go only buy small time but no go bring better result.
Di 2024 snap elections wey strengthen di far-right grip and di leftist alliance for parliament, plus di fact say Macron second term dey near end, don make di situation worse. Analysts dey talk say snap election fit even give di far-right more power as dem dey do well for recent polls.
Kolesnyk believe say di next presidential election for 2027 na di only way wey fit bring clarity to di political wahala. E talk say di far-right National Rally candidate get upper hand for di polls, and di political landscape fit change afta di election.
Di idea of 'Macronism,' wey dem describe as 'neither left nor right' centrist positioning, don dey lose ground. Analysts dey talk say di approach wey dem hail as fresh idea don turn to symbol of elite detachment and governance wahala.
Recent opinion polls show say Macron centrist coalition get only 15-16 percent support, while di far-right RN dey enjoy 32-34 percent. Many voters dey look for alternative to Macron government wey dem believe no address di economic and security problems wey di country dey face.
France budget deficit don reach 168.6 billion euros ($198 billion), wey be 5.8 percent of di country economic output last year. Dis na di biggest deficit since World War II, and e don almost double di EU limit of three percent.
Di country don also see plenty anti-government protests against cuts for public spending, as people dey vex for Macron policies. Di polarisation for society over immigration don also make many people tire for di centrist government.
Even some of Macron close allies don dey complain about Macronism. Gabriel Attal, former prime minister under Macron, talk say e no understand di president decisions again. Edouard Philippe, another former prime minister, even suggest say Macron suppose resign and call presidential election.
Elisabeth Borne, another former prime minister, also criticise Macron, say e need to dey listen to wetin di public dey talk about e policies. Analysts dey warn say di situation fit make radical views take root for French society as di country dey polarise more.
Kolesnyk believe say di 2027 elections go bring clarity to di political uncertainty, as di new parliament fit get more right-leaning and far-right deputies. Di post-2027 government fit dey dominated by right-leaning parties, according to analysts.
