PNN – In an article, a western publication addressed the issue of whether the new prime minister of France can create a new beginning for him as French President Emmanuel Macron wants.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Tages Shaw newspaper discussed in an article whether the new French President Emmanuel Macron can make a new beginning by appointing his new Prime Minister.
Cyril Chatelin, leader of the opposition parliamentary group Les Ecologists, said on the France Info radio station before the inauguration of Gabriel Chatel as the new prime minister: No matter who comes in now, he doesn’t expect major changes: from what I hear, the president will rely on those closest to him.
He added: France will have the same policy in the coming months. What we need is a prime minister who does not owe his political existence to the president and who can have strong accents.
Rono Coutres, a political science expert in France, commented on this: Macron’s problem is that he promised the people a new start and a new speed for his second presidential term.
He emphasized: At the same time, Macron has always maintained the government team to a large extent. So if Macron really wants to give the impression that he wants to fundamentally restructure his policies and define clearer goals, then that is possible through a new prime minister.
This article continues: Politically, last year was a difficult year for Macron and his government. First, the unpopular pension reform and finally the impasse over the immigration law. “Madame 49.3” is what many people called Elizabeth Bourne. Bourne had to invoke the controversial Article 49.3 of the Constitution a total of 23 times during his tenure. Under certain circumstances, this principle allows laws to be passed without a vote of parliament.
Referring to the naming of Gabriel Atal as the new prime minister, the author wrote: But the main problem remains (with the presence of the new prime minister): no matter who is in this position, there is a lack of an absolute majority in the parliament, without which It is difficult for Macron to implement political projects. The success of the rest of Macron’s term depends on whether the new prime minister can organize these conditions.
Germany’s “Tagus Zeitung” newspaper also wrote in an article: “The promotion of a 34-year-old elite student from the primary circles of Macron’s admirers to the new prime minister, instead of solving Macron’s problems, aggravates this problem.”
The author continued this article and wrote: It is not only in France that the power of persuasion of the political elite is decreasing. In almost all European countries there is a growing frustration that the needs of the people are being lost and neglected before the needs of the politicians.
Tagus Saitong continued: One of the most popular empty phrases in 2024 is the statement that Europe needs leadership to stand up to the monsters of Moscow, Beijing, and soon perhaps Washington again. Europe sought leadership and got Macron and Schultz. But the two are now stuck in a boring contest with the populists. They are a confirmation of what the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci said 100 years ago: the crisis lies precisely in the fact that the old dies and the new cannot be born. A variety of pathological symptoms occur in this middle area.
Europe has indeed always had many leaders. Ordinary people who drive politics even without a guiding hand – they are few and far between. Europe must change its politics from top to bottom. It must allow political energy to sprout everywhere in society. This is the challenge that Europe is facing and Europe’s leaders must finally understand it.
