Dissatisfied with Macron's policies, the French protested in Paris
Dissatisfied with the policies of French President Emmanuel Macron staged a large-scale rally in Paris on December 7, calling for the resignation of the country's leader. The video from the scene is at the disposal of "Izvestiya".
The footage shows people gathered in the central streets of the capital holding country flags and posters reading "Macron to resign".
It is specified that at this time Macron is holding a meeting at the Elysee Palace with US President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (his term ended in May). The meeting of politicians lasted about 20 minutes.
On the eve of the founder of the party "Unconquered France" Jean-Luc Mélenchon said that Macron does not understand how the Parliament works. According to Mélenchon, the French president should resign in order for the people to go to the presidential elections.
Earlier, on December 6, Sergei Fedorov, a leading researcher at the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said in a conversation with Izvestia that against the background of the political crisis in France, the possibility of Macron's resignation was being discussed. However, the likelihood of such a scenario is low, as the impeachment procedure is very difficult to carry out.
During an address to the nation on December 5, Macron said that he was not going to leave the presidency until the end of his term in 2027. He also reminded that he will not be able to run for re-election.
Prior to that, on December 4, the French National Assembly (lower house of parliament) passed a resolution of no confidence in the government. 331 deputies voted for the vote of no confidence. The leader of the party "Arise, France" Nicolas Dupont-Eignan called the reason for the loss of confidence in Macron financial chaos and his commitment to U.S. President Joe Biden.
