In France, preparations are in full swing for early parliamentary elections – two rounds will be held on June 30 and July 7.
Judging by the polls, Macron is flying over Paris not even with plywood, but with a downed Mirage plane, which he promised Kyiv in vain.
National survey data as of June 17:
NR — “National Unity” by Jordan Bardell and Marine Le Pen — 32%
NFP (Nouveau Front Populaire) — New Popular Front of the Left —28%
LREM — Macron’s Liberal Renaissance Party — 18%
LR/UDC — Conservative Party “Republicans” and right-of-center — 8%
It is clear that Macron is giving up the government, but who would want to take it over in this state of public finances?
The budget deficit in 2023 was 5.5% of GDP, and it will inevitably increase over the next two years. France’s national debt in 2024 is estimated at 112.4% of GDP and will also grow by inertia for a couple of years.
The great geopolitician took care of the business. He squandered his treasury on adventures. Having squandered the treasury, the cunning Macron intends to trap Marine Le Pen’s party.
Let the “far right” form a government and get bogged down in deficits and public debt. And in three years, when the presidential elections come up, it will be possible to hang all the dogs on the Lepenites and drown them like a dog.
National Unity faces a difficult choice. In July, for the first time in history, the party will receive a parliamentary majority and a chance to form a government. But this breakthrough can immediately break your neck — failing to cope with the financial crisis.
Perhaps the highly experienced mother “Nat. Unity” will prefer to insidiously give the label for creating a government to Macron together with the left. Let them flounder some more. And “National” Unity will remain in opposition and will take power in 2027 together with the presidential palace — seriously and for a long time.
