In light of Michel Barnier's recent resignation following a historic no-confidence vote in parliament, President Emmanuel Macron announced he will select a new prime minister within days. Addressing the nation, Macron reaffirmed his commitment to serving out his term until 2027 despite calls for his resignation from opposition parties. His government is navigating a politically fragmented parliament, which is divided among left-wing, centrist, and far-right factions. The Socialist party has expressed willingness to negotiate a compromise, yet they maintain their distance from right-wing candidates. Macron thanked Barnier for his short tenure, while condemning the coalition of opposition MPs that led to this unprecedented parliamentary defeat. With the next prime minister's choice critical to forming a stable government, speculation abounds over potential successors as Macron also prepares for a major upcoming event: the grand reopening of the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral, which awaits attendance from various global leaders.
