If it had happened in Italy, we would already have liters of ink spilled to criticize the stalemate of a country incapable of giving itself a government, a quarrelsome political class, a State that “cannot afford a crisis now”. Instead it is happening in France where for almost two months Emmanuel Macron he is holding Paris hostage without managing to give the French an executive other than the resigning one.
Last night, meeting Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris, Macron assured that “the work continues” and that “the door remains open”. Consultations are ongoing but tempers are high. After rejecting the name proposed by the Popular Front, the high-ranking official from Paris Lucie Casteswhich would not have achieved the necessary political stability, Emmnauel is looking for another epilogue to a stalemate he has gotten himself into with his own hands. After the beating he suffered at the European elections, and with an Assembly bordering on unmanageability, the recourse to early elections has ultimately delivered an even more tangled mess to the Elysée: no winner, three distant blocs, complicated agreements.
