Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Rally (RN) party, wants an early presidential election as President Emmanuel Macron appoints his fourth prime minister of 2024. Le Pen, speaking to Le Parisien, stressed “the fragility of Emmanuel Macron” and the limited institutional tools at his disposal. The ‘Macronist’ faction in the French legislature has had no working majority since a snap election in July.
So far, Macron has maintained his intention to complete his second term, which concludes in 2027. However, Le Pen believes it is “over or almost over” for the French president, as he has “lost control everywhere.”
