François Hollande still opposes the rebels – Libération

Guest of France Inter this Thursday morning, the former president opposes the majority group of the New Popular Front in its new steps aimed at dismissing Emmanuel Macron to provoke a presidential election before 2027.

With the increasingly likely prospect of censorship from the Barnier government, the pressure is increasing on Emmanuel Macron. Not only have the rebels attempted to relaunch their procedure for impeaching the President, rejected in October in the Assembly, but certain voices outside the left are beginning to speak of a possible resignation of the head of state to emerge from the crisis that could create the fall of the government. François Hollande is not one of them. “I am not in favor of a procedure for the impeachment of the President of the Republic and I am not in favor of there being an early presidential election in the context of instability and danger on the markets. develops the former socialist President on France Inter, praising his spirit of “responsibility”.

Because for Hollande, now an NFP deputy, “if Michel Barnier, because he does not have the support of the RN, falls, we will have to look for a Prime Minister who can have a majority in the Assembly.” No easy feat. And the pink of attacking his best enemy Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who would be “obsessed” by an early supreme vote: “Mélenchon wants to be a candidate. He will not be President, he knows that. He won't even be in the 2nd round, he knows that. I think that the election must take place in 2027 and that the left must prepare, reconstitute itself. Wednesday, while a poll revealed that 63% of French people believe that Macron should resign in the event of censorship of Michel Barnier, the general rapporteur of the budget to the Assembly, the centrist Charles de Courson, and the mayor LR de Maux Jean- François Copé both pleaded for a presidential resignation. The only way, according to them, to emerge from the crisis caused by the dissolution.
