Bayrou's 90-minute state-of-the-Republic speech was well written but lacked delivery, filled with common sense and failed strategies. The political landscape remains dire.
France's fourth Prime Minister in 12 months faces an exploding deficit, a slowing economy, and divided National Assembly with no consensus on deficit reduction strategies.
Negotiations between Bayrou and Socialists fell short; concessions were insufficient, ultimately failing to secure support against Marine Le Pen's coalition.
Despite initial possibilities for cooperation, the National Assembly's split reflects ongoing political instability and challenges Bayrou’s ability to reform pension policies.
