(MENAFN) In a significant declaration on Tuesday, French President Emmanuel macron firmly asserted his decision to remain in office until the conclusion of his current term in 2027, despite recent electoral defeats suffered by his party. Both local and European parliamentary elections saw victories for the centrist "Alliance Together," prompting Macron to acknowledge their success while dismissing calls for his resignation from various Political quarters, including the far-right and far-left factions.
During his first televised interview since the legislative elections held between June 30 and July 7, Macron acknowledged the defeat of his political camp but stood by his resolve not to step down. He rejected proposals, including one from The New Popular Front, which emerged victorious in the legislative elections and nominated economist Lucie Castille as Prime Minister. Instead, Macron expressed openness to collaborating with the right-wing Republican party.
Macron also announced that there would be no immediate appointment of a new prime minister until after the conclusion of the upcoming Olympic Games, hosted by France from July 26 to August 11. Stressing the importance of stability during this global sporting event, he cautioned against potential disruptions that could arise if a new government were formed prematurely.
Reflecting on the recent electoral outcomes, Macron observed that none of the major political parties emerged as a clear winner capable of fully implementing their electoral programs. He pointed out the challenges faced by all significant political entities, including the New Popular Front, the outgoing majority, and the Republican right, in meeting their electoral mandates.
In summary, despite acknowledging electoral setbacks for his party, Macron remains steadfast in his commitment to complete his presidential term, emphasizing stability and continuity in the face of a complex political environment.
