Radical left party La France Insoumise argues that it is not up to the president 'to do political horsetrading,' taking aim at Emmanuel Macron's efforts since July to find a prime minister who would not be immediately ousted in a confidence vote.

    Was wondering what's going on there. Seems kind of important that there's a coup in one of the biggest European powers, but wdik blob-no-thoughts

    Needs two thirds approval.

    There is a chance Le Pen sees this as useful to back to at least fuck Macron, between the left and the far right there would be enough.

    Not really sure where Macron goes from here, I can't see any path for the liberals other than being squeezed out and losing support.

      I think NR would absolutely vote to impeach him, and their support will only grow after this farce. The libs are basically dead as a political force in France at this point as far as I can tell.

        Honestly would be amazing to see the death of a mainstream neoliberal party within western Europe, feels like a canary in the coal mines moment

          For sure, there appears to be a lot of political instability all across Europe right now. In particular, Germany and UK both appear to be boiling over, so we'll be seeing more similar stuff happening there as well. I'd argue that France, UK, and Germany are really the three most important European countries, so whatever direction they go in the rest will follow.
