Macron has admitted his decision to dissolve the French parliament was erroneous

French President Emmanuel Macron has admitted in a New Year's address to citizens that his decision to dissolve the National Assembly (lower house of parliament) has led to more instability instead of resolving the political crisis.

"I must admit that the dissolution has brought more divisions to the assembly than solutions for the French," BFMTV television channel quoted his statement as saying.

According to the French leader, he made the decision for the sake of avoiding the threat of stagnation, but it has created more instability than calm.

Macron added that he takes full responsibility for the situation. He made a call to declare 2025 the year of "collective recovery" for the sake of stability and the solution of key issues.

Earlier, on December 27, it became known that the confidence of the French in Macron fell to the lowest level since December 2018. The indicator began to actively decline since September.

Macron on June 9 announced the dissolution of the National Assembly and early elections, which were won by the coalition of left-wing parties "New Popular Front" (NFP). After the defeat of the presidential party, former French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal resigned.

In early September, the government of Michel Barnier came to power in the country. After about three months, the parliament passed a vote of no confidence in him, and on December 13, 73-year-old leader of the centrist party "Democratic Movement" Francois Bayrou was appointed the new Prime Minister of France.

For his part, Macron said during his address to the nation 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.
