Macron to Stay on, Will Announce New Prime Minister in Coming Days: 'I Will Remain Until the End of My Term'

paris - French President Emmanuel Macron announces that he will not step down and will soon reveal the name of a new prime minister to lead a government that may involve other parties. Macron's top priority is to create a new budget following the fall of the government under Michel Barnier. Macron addresses the situation in a television speech.

French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that he will introduce a new prime minister in the coming days to form a government that he hopes will include various parties. Macron's immediate focus is on drafting a new budget following the government's collapse under Michel Barnier. Macron addressed this issue during a televised speech on Thursday evening.

The Barnier government faced a vote of no confidence from parliament, marking the first time such an event has occurred in France since 1962. Macron accused radical left and right-wing forces of forming an 'anti-republican front' to overthrow the government, unjustly attributing blame for the political unrest to him.

Macron made it clear that he has no intention of resigning, stating, 'I will remain until the end of my term.' He referenced two major projects from recent years: the hosting of the Olympic Games and the restoration of the fire-damaged Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, set to reopen this weekend. These projects, in Macron's view, exemplify what France can achieve through collaborative efforts.
