As we learned from the latest news, here we are, the new French Executive led by has left François Bayrou (centrist). For the first time we are witnessing an event that is perhaps unique in a European country: three changes in leadership and three governments in total 11 months. This time however, even though the socialists were open to dialogue, Emmanuel Macron he had to drink a bitter cup because, contrary to what one might have thought before a possible entry into the party of Olivier Faure – head of the PS who was tempted to become Prime Minister and put Mélenchon in a corner – chose to “balance” the Executive to please everyone starting from Marine Le Pen.
From what I read in the local press, it seems that Marine herself is satisfied: with the choice of the new Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau – a former Republican enemy of immigration, confirming the veto that the RN leader had placed on Xavier Bertrand, who was not invested with any office. Even though she has given a sort of unexplained support to the new administration, in the background comes a warning from within the party: her “steed” Bardella, which in the last administrative elections brought a wealth of votes especially among young people, cannonades by declaring that this “It's a failed coalition” (whoever has ears to hear, let him hear).
This makes us understand something that is now plastic: the French are not at all happy with Macron, so much so that his party, Reinassance, he is in free fall in the polls and this is reflected in the calls for his resignation by a good part of the citizens beyond the Alps. The reason why they ask for a step back is determined by a fact that is affecting many so-called countries “democratic”: the habit of not letting the will of the people be expressed by putting what they like into coups which, choice after choice, are weakening societies and causing them to collapse.
What in my opinion the French situation can teach us is that, despite a higher public debt than ours, the will of the parties is always expressed and, despite other Western “democracies”, external interference matters up to a certain point. Although in a system different from many parliamentary republics, the ease of distrusting governments is much simpler than one might think, which is why we are already at the third government since the beginning of the year.
All this in a scenario in which Atlantic polarization will be increasingly incisive on the economy of NATO countries in terms of public spending and more specifically in terms of a possible defense destination which, according to many newspapers, Trump wants to raise to 5%. Without forgetting other hypotheses of a return to duties which, too, will weigh on theexport which for many countries such as Italy and France could be harmful even in the short term.
