"Like many French people, I no longer understand the president's decisions."
"He [Macron] must now address this dereliction of the state, take a decision commensurate with his function and, in my view, that's guaranteeing the continuity of our institutions by leaving in an orderly manner,"
A political crisis in France has intensified after the resignation of the country's fifth prime minister in under two years, prompting calls for snap elections or presidential resignation. Two former prime ministers have publicly distanced themselves, with one saying he no longer understands presidential decisions. The latest resignation followed resistance to Cabinet picks, and the outgoing prime minister held urgent talks to try to form a new government at the president's request. A past dissolution of the National Assembly led to an opposition-heavy chamber that has repeatedly brought down minority governments. A former prime minister urged an orderly presidential departure after the next budget vote.
