Macron stays away from the French political crisis, focusing on maintaining his international status
AFP pointed out that French President Macron stays away from the political crisis in France, and focuses more on maintaining his international status.
AFP reported from Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, that on Monday, French President Macron in Egypt shifted the responsibility for the French political crisis to the French political circle, while emphasizing his own diplomatic role in resolving the Gaza war.
AFP said that for the French president, Monday was a day he could not miss Sharm El Sheikh, because US President Trump was there holding an important summit on the future of the Gaza Strip.
However, in order to go to Sharm El Sheikh, Macron had to adjust the arrangements for major domestic events in France: On Sunday evening, the night before Macron flew to Egypt, the presidential office announced the list of the second government cabinet of Leclerc; in addition, the time to submit the 2026 budget to the Council of Ministers had to be postponed by 24 hours due to Macron's absence, pushed to the day after the deadline, which is Tuesday morning.
Especially, upon arriving in Sharm El Sheikh, Macron broke his silence for more than a month on the endless French political crisis. Macron told the accompanying journalists, "I am here because it is required by my role as a guarantor of the institution." He also emphasized, "I want to ensure continuity and stability."
Macron also completely attributed the current "chaos" in France to the French political forces, saying they "worsened the division," "undermined stability," and "failed to fulfill their promises," especially regarding the now fragile alliance between the Macronist camp and the right wing.
AFP stated that this position contradicts the views of the French opposition, which blames Macron for the political deadlock in France, and even some people in Macron's own camp have accused him of being "stubbornly unwilling to relinquish power."
According to Macron, other countries around the world are "watching" France, not only because of France's instability, but also because of France's involvement in the Israel-Palestine crisis. Macron emphasized the "role" France can play in implementing the plan proposed by Trump to end the Gaza war.
