Political instability is growing in France. Over the past two years, the country has changed five prime ministers. Because the parliament is divided into three parts, the government struggles to pass important decisions, including the budget.
The national debt has exceeded 3 trillion euros, reaching 114% of GDP. In 2025, debt servicing costs are expected to rise to 67 billion euros. Rating agencies downgraded France’s financial indicators, which became a warning signal for the economy.
Protests continue across the country. Trade unions and political parties, dissatisfied with government policies, are taking to the streets. Analysts describe France as a “state trapped in debt and instability.”
President Emmanuel Macron appointed 39-year-old Sébastien Lecornu as the new prime minister. His main task is now to reach an agreement with parliament and approve the 2026 budget. This decision could become a crucial test for France’s future.
