What can happen now in France?

Emmanuel Macron may decide to appoint a socialist prime minister, but time is running out, because political instability is directly damaging him, and tension in the economy and in the streets is obvious.

Paris (France), 08/09/2025.- Police officers block a group of people carrying a banner reading 'Macron, you're next' during a spontaneous rally following the rejection of the vote of confidence requested for Prime Minister François Bayou, in Montreuil, Paris, France, 08 September 2025.

Francois Bayrou has not passed the question of confidencein the National Assembly and will present his resignation to Emanuel Macron at the Elysée Palace in the next few hours. The plan to reorient the financial situation created by public debt and deficit has no approval, and the prime minister has been withdrawn from the centrist left and right.

Macron has a chance to find a new candidate who gets enough support from the National Assembly to form a new government, or to call legislative elections, as some parties demand. Dena on the right track, the prime minister will choose the first option, and it is very likely to turn left, to the socialists.  

But time is running out, political instability is affecting the country's economy, and the streets are dominated by tension.

Yesterday evening, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to celebrate the defeat of Bayrou. In addition, a national unemployment has been called for wednesday  through social networks.

For now, the Elysée said in a statement that the president will announce a candidate in the next few days.
