Macron Appoints French Cabinet, but Doubts Over Government’s Stability Persist (archived) – NY Times
There were significant holdovers from the previous cabinet, but President Emmanuel Macron also named several newcomers, including Bruno Le Maire, a veteran centrist politician, as defense minister.

President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday appointed most of a new cabinet that left many holdovers in key positions, a semblance of stability that will do little to dispel persistent doubts over the French government’s ability to survive long enough to pass a budget this year.

French Prime Minister Resigns in Surprise Move (archived) – NY Times
Sébastien Lecornu stepped down less than 24 hours after he had formed his cabinet.

Oct. 6, 2025, 4:02 a.m. ET
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu of France resigned on Monday less than 24 hours after forming his cabinet, a move that caught the nation by surprise and made his government one of the shortest-lived in modern French history.
…

Last year President Macron dissolved the parliament with the hope of gaining a new majority in support of his policies. It was a devastating miscalculation.

The people preferred the opposition on the far left and far right. Macron’s own center-right party was thoroughly diminished and landed in the third place. Without parliament support the government was unable to pass a budget.

The situation is unlikely to change until Macron accepts the will of the people and nominates a prime minister from one of the opposition parties. If he fails to do that he should resign.

Thanks. Good observation (if scary).

From what I saw, the GJ were more on the 40/50yo side than 20/30yo side.

That’s highly ill-formed and I guess you don’t have any data to support this claim other than your “wet finger”.
Most of the GJ leaders were in their 20s.
I dislike that kind of despise for younger generations.

Le Cornu likely resigned with honour , once realising he was cuckolded by Macron’s Globalist, Zionist, Atlanticist government. Well that is what I will think to keep him in my good books.

There was no Popular Front revolt in 1936. Diagnosis: lost in mythefaction. Posted by: steven t johnson | Oct 7 2025 1:58 utc | 170Hey troll, learn the basics of French History before pretending to know it better than French people do.
Here it is in the “Le_mouvement_de_grève_de_mai-juin_1936” chapter in https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_populaire_(France)
In short : after the electoral victory, all the industry workers went in strike/, The country was paralyzed to a level never seen before, then the new elected government capitulated and gave a lot more than what was promised before the election (in a standard context you get less and never more than promised)

Your idea is completely correct in my opinion, I don’t disagree with that. The more we stray from the truth the worst things become as far as I am concerned. It’s a bit like the phenomenon of chaos in the physics of engineering, the more error that gets factored into any object that is made, the more quickly it will break apart.

So you have the right remedy for the disease, but it depends on whether the patient wants to take it or not. I think many do, but I’m not sure how many.

Capitalization of the dependencies is one part of the plan.You can see that they are inspired by the chines and russian model. It all resolves around this question : is capitalism servant of the State, or is the State servant of the capitalism ? The first option is in China. You can currently see that every one or two days in USA the state announces its new partial ownership of whatever industry it see fit. Everybody has seen that now the State, not the free capitalist market, decides where production should be done, and so on
Then watch out how the private shareholders of the Federal Reserve will soon lose their economical and political power.

(My current political descriptors are authoritarian vs. anti-authoritarian.)Posted by: George the Zeroth | Oct 7 2025 5:03 utc | 179 These descriptors do not replace the original historical description of Left and Right however. And many can’t seem to understand that, especially Americans. But I agree that the modern interpretations of Left and Right mean nothing anymore and are better avoided since they have been corrupted and confused with all sorts of other garbage that gives them no sense of clear meaning anymore and it is no longer possible to apply them in coherent ways. Posted by: GeorgeWendell | Oct 7 2025 6:08 utc | 184

Left/Right, Authoritarian or not, I judge nations’ governments or their rulers primarily by the degree to which they benefit their population. Second is by their relations with other countries.

Yes, I see your point better now. The neolib ideology went too far in their central tenet ‘State serves Capital’, causing vast damage to the fabric of empire, so part of the strategy is to roll that back and get closer to ‘Capital serves the State’, as it happens in the young and vigorous capitalist systems of Russia and China.

Note also that American innerdeepstate strategists have decided to try and annex some dependencies to facilitate capitalization of the federal State (remember those calls to annex Canada and Greenland? Fatman spilled the beans after being briefed on the matter by those talented innerdeepstaters).

Also astute observation. We’ve seen Fatman trying to overtake the Federal Reserve, force the chairman into his desired policies, penetrate it with infiltrates.

You are both wrong.
Capitalism is fine; it got perverted when the US stopped using anti-trust legislation against Microsoft, Facebook, Goolge et al-now it is a Fascist system in the last 25 years.
China has the best model; a hybrid Capitalism/Socialist hybrid where no company or individaul is ‘bigger’ than the Syar.

xiao, I have no idea what happens next but yr take sounds good (re. the Macron mess.)

I have always seen Marine le Pen as a sort of pretend opposition, remember it was Mitterand who hiked up her Papa Jean-Marie to Third Party status to absorb the malcontent vote, thus ensuring a kind of 2 – Party system that would always win, aka a Uniparty, like in the US.

Now she is ineligible but imho she never wanted to be Prez. – a position much too taxing, dangerous. (She threw the election to Macron first time in the debate.) The Bardella figure is an ignoramus fool, this is another sign of …. Hey, not my problem.

The crux is that these ‘politiciens’ (in F) are not heads of political parties that have traditional faithful following (if that ever was so), they are figures who ‘lead a team’, ‘want to make an impact’ and so on -> see Macron as the prototype.

They do not represent the F ppl, they are not fighting for the interests of France, but are enmeshed in various pol. calculations dealing with first, their own status / jobs, winning petty quarrels, taking a bigger piece of the pie, obeying some ‘trends’, and Masters (oligarchs, Big Corps, pleasing the US, etc.), adhering to X group, and on and on.

That can’t last. ‘Representative Republics’ (e.g. F, USA) are toast, because the ‘representation’ contract is broken. How they die is another question.

This is the hypothesis from Russian analysts. One stone, two kills. Both the federal reserve dollar and the debt will be nixed.
The Fed could have prevented this scenario by issuing its own digital currency, which would naturally become the new reference currency.
But, guess what happened ? In his first day in White House, Trump signed a decree which forbid central bank digital currency. And some times after the Congress issued a similar law.
The Fed is cooked.

Le Cornhole was always destined for failure. He quit because he knows Macron is done, and doesn’t want to jeopardize his future political potential. It’s going to be great watching these WEF affiliated globalists go down one by one.

Wednesday is almost over and Macron has not yet made is promised statement.

What is so difficult?

Posted by: too scents | Oct 8 2025 20:10 utc | 220

Macron is a can-kicker extraordinaire … and quite clearly clinging to power so that he can continue to bring France closer to WWIII.
It seems that the meeting accomplished little … Cornholio is still going to resign, and Macron is going to pick a new PM, supposedly within 48 hours. Rinse, wash, repeat …

Posted by: Ghost of Zanon | Oct 9 2025 2:20 utc | 221

Latest is that Lecornu spoke with Macron after the extra consultations he was forced to carry. Now we are told a new PM will be named within 48 hours. All tuned with the Doha sequence.
He will certainly name another top right brass (against the actual composition of the parliament and again without accepting the results of the last elections) but by then he expects the world to be in another ‘sequence’.
That means that after hostages release it should indeed escalate.
