Parliamentary leaders struck down the vote at the earliest stage<\/strong><\/p>\n

French parliamentary leaders rejected a bid to impeach President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, as a spiraling political crisis in the country has seen his popularity plummet to unprecedented lows.<\/p>\n

The motion was proposed earlier this year by left-wing parties led by La France Insoumise (LFI).<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Bureau of the National Assembly rejected the motion ten to five, with five abstaining. The decision means the motion will not proceed to the rest of parliament.<\/p>\n

LFI President Mathilde Panot blamed the abstaining right-wing MPs for the loss.<\/p>\n

“The National Rally is still preventing the discussion and vote on Emmanuel Macron’s impeachment,”<\/em> she wrote on X following the vote.<\/p>\n

Outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu told France 2 on Wednesday that “an absolute majority in the National Assembly opposes the dissolution.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I can assure you that this is not the time to change the President of the Republic,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Lecornu resigned from Macron’s cabinet on Monday after less than a month in office, amid budget disputes and parliamentary gridlock. His resignation marked the seventh time a prime minister has stepped down from Macron’s government since the president took office in 2017. Lecornu has agreed to fulfill his duties for 48 hours after his resignation.<\/p>\n

Opposition lawmakers initially called for Macron’s impeachment earlier this year, blaming him for a worsening political crisis over his decision in June 2024 to dissolve parliament and call snap elections.<\/p>\n

According to a recent Elabe poll carried out for Les Echos, the French president’s approval rating has fallen to 14% following his government’s unsuccessful efforts to pass a deeply unpopular budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
