Among potential candidates for prime minister, one name stands out: Sébastien Lecornu, a close friend of Brigitte Macron, reportedly favored by the president himself. Lecornu spent his weekend frantically “making phone calls to the left,” scrambling for support in a bid to salvage the sinking ship.
This reeks of cronyism at its worst—elevating personal allies over competent leadership, further entrenching the elitist bubble that has defined Macron’s tenure. It’s a pathetic spectacle, underscoring how the regime clings to power through nepotistic maneuvers rather than addressing the nation’s cries for real change.
As France grapples with escalating unrest and economic paralysis, the president’s globalist vision—prioritizing supranational alliances over national sovereignty—has exposed itself as a hollow promise, alienating the very people it claims to serve.
Following the successful no-confidence vote on September 8, 2025, Prime Minister François Bayrou was ousted, marking Macron’s fifth premier in just two years and underscoring the regime’s terminal instability. Bayrou’s departure, triggered by a resounding 364-194 defeat over deficit-cutting budgets bowing to EU fiscal rules, highlights how Macron’s internationalist priorities are globalist entanglements, subordinating domestic needs to the dictates of the European Union and international technocrats.
The infamous “yellow vest” protests of 2018 were just the opening salvo; today, they pale in comparison to the widespread discontent fueled by his aggressive green agenda. The forced imposition of carbon taxes and renewable energy mandates has crippled industries, from agriculture to manufacturing, driving up energy costs and inflation to unsustainable levels.
French farmers, once the backbone of the nation, now blockade roads in desperation, their livelihoods sacrificed on the altar of net-zero fantasies that enrich multinational corporations while starving rural communities.
Immigration remains the regime’s most glaring failure, a policy of open borders masquerading as humanitarianism but serving globalist labor markets. Macron’s lax enforcement has overwhelmed public services, strained social cohesion, and ignited urban tensions, from riots in the banlieues to surging crime rates.
Billions funneled into integration programs yield little beyond resentment, as cultural erosion accelerates under the guise of multiculturalism. This isn’t compassion; it’s a deliberate dilution of French identity, prioritizing EU quotas over the welfare of citizens who feel increasingly like strangers in their own land.
Adding insult to injury, Brigitte Macron costs taxpayers €300,000 per year, yet she holds no official role—a lavish drain on public funds for unelected glamour amid national hardship. Meanwhile, Macron’s unwavering support for Ukraine is bankrupting France, with billions in aid straining an already bloated debt of 120% of GDP, exacerbating inflation and diverting resources from domestic crises like farmer subsidies and urban decay.
Economically, Macron’s neoliberal reforms—deregulation, pension hikes, and austerity lite—have widened inequality, with the wealth gap yawning wider than ever. Unemployment hovers stubbornly, youth disillusionment festers, and his flirtations with global finance, from hosting Davos-style summits to championing digital currencies, betray a regime more attuned to Wall Street and the World Economic Forum than to the boulangeries of provincial France.
As scandals swirl—from favoritism in contracts to whispers of corruption—the regime’s grip loosens. Polls show plummeting approval ratings at a dismal 15-17%, with 75-80% disapproval, yet Macron hangs on, his term secure until 2027 despite the loathing.
The French however demand a reckoning, suggesting the crisis is far from over.
