  • Macron gets impeached (part II)/Barnier’s secretive government
    Sep 18 2024
    Impeachment proceedings are barreling ahead, with the vote to get the LFI-led resolution out of the National Assembly’s political bureau winning. If the resolution gets to the Assembly floor, it’ll be the first time in the history of the Vth Republic that impeachment is voted on against a president. Michel Barnier’s government is starting to take shape - and he’s got the same economic adviser as Gabriel Attal did. And Elisabeth Borne did. Plus, a former Prime Minister’s name is circulating as the potential next Foreign Minister of France. And even more: the Prime Minister’s office is still refusing to communicate budget planning documents to the opposition-led Finance Commission in the National Assembly. Tomorrow, their leaders promise to head to the Economy Ministry to get the documents.

  • Macron gets impeached Part I
    Sep 17 2024

    Impeachment proceedings have officially been opened against Emmanuel Macron - and it looks like they’ll pass the National Assembly’s political bureau next. After that, a debate in the commission on constitutional law. The Socialist Party says they’ll vote the resolution, backed by La France Insoumise, through the Assembly’s political bureau but that they don’t support the process, which is “doomed to fail.”

    Michel Barnier has pushed back the date when the budget will be presented, along with his political agenda, to October 9th. It was supposed to happen on the 1st of the month. Meanwhile, the LFI president of the Finance Commission Eric Coquerel hasn’t received all the documents he needs yet from the Economy ministry.

    And in the EU, Thierry Breton resigns from a role on the EU commission.

  • The man behind the Macron-RN alliance, and a battle for the budget
    Sep 16 2024

    Thierry Solère, the man who organized dinners between the National Rally and Macron’s camp, is back in the news. He reportedly, and not unpredictably, was the guy who negotiated RN’s tacit agreement with Macron to put Michel Barnier in the driving seat as Prime Minister.

    And the Finance Commission president Éric Coquerel, and LFI deputy, still hasn’t received key documents from the Economy and Finance Ministry about the 2025 budget. If he doesn’t get them by the end of the day on Monday, he says he’s going to have to head over to the Prime Minister’s office to pry them out in person.

  • Give us a call, Michel Barnier
    Sep 15 2024

    It looks like Michel Barnier's governing now - Macron's ministers are complaining that they can't even get a call with him or anybody close to him to approve their moves because...they don't have his phone number.

    On the left, François Ruffin gets booed at the Fête de « L’Humanité » as he openly goes on the warpath against Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the LFI's strategy of trying to get votes from people who support the left.

    It's autumn 3 years out and the presidential race is here.

  • When will the next presidential election be?
    Sep 11 2024

    Éric Ciotti says France should be governed from the right - and he thinks that Michel Barnier is just Macronism with another name.

    Plus, when will the next presidential election be? The question is on everybody's lips, and nobody's ruling out Macron resigning. Could it happen?
