Macron Attributes Chaos to ‘Political Forces’ Destabilizing French PM

October 13, 2025

Lecornu resigned on October 6, just 14 hours after forming his government, due to his center-right coalition unraveling over the Cabinet’s composition. He was reappointed on Friday following a week of tough negotiations with opposition parties to secure a government and budget for France. A draft budget is set to be presented to the French National Assembly this week, but its approval is uncertain.

Macron did not specify which political groups he blamed for the instability that unsettled financial markets and fueled speculation about another snap parliamentary election last week.

Throughout the turmoil, Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally and the far-left France Unbowed strongly advocated for a new parliamentary election.

Macron’s comments come amidst criticism for not allowing opposition groups to lead a minority government, despite losing his parliamentary majority in a snap election last year.

When asked if he would consider a snap election if Lecornu’s new government falls, the French president stated he made no “bets” regarding the future.

    Just what we needed, a government that can’t even hold on for a full day! 🤦‍♂️ Looks like the political landscape in France is as stable as a croissant in a windstorm—who needs stability when you have chaos, right? 🥐💼
