Is 2025 going to be as chaotic for Emmanuel Macron as 2024 marked by the explosion of a dissolution which caused political instability in France. Will the Head of State continue to pay the price this year for his decision to dissolve the Assembly?
Dissolution is a lasting poison thatEmmanuel Macron has injected himself into his five-year term and for which he will have great difficulty finding the antidote in 2025. When he pronounced his vows to the French on December 31, the President of the Republic tried to turn the page on this failed dissolution by recognizing for the first time in six months that his decision had caused more than “ divisions than solutions “. But belatedly doing the work of “ lucidity ” And ” of humility » may not be enough to reverse the trend. Gone are the days when Emmanuel Macron was nicknamed “Jupiter” to demonstrate his power and domination. In the entourage of the Head of State, we are now reduced to theorizing the posture of “ president who presides “, of ” guarantor » more than the government to try to act as if finally, this situation of weakening of the president was under control and to create around him a protective institutional bubble by agitating the powers which remain to him, for example that of organizing referendums.
Emmanuel Macron in danger?
The president is clearly in the sights of his adversaries and especially of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The rebellious leader, already a presidential candidate three times, could well see himself trying his luck a fourth time and why not from 2025 during an early election. So after having tried unsuccessfully to launch an impeachment procedure, he is now playing the card of calling for the resignation of Emmanuel Macron. LFI’s strategy of repeated censorship aims to cause instability and put the head of state in a situation where his departure from the Élysée would be the only solution.

“ The ticking clock »
Marine Le Pen she also puts pressure on Emmanuel Macron. She is not clearly calling for his resignation but leaves the hypothesis hanging and questions the president’s ability to hold out until 2027. In this context, a Renaissance executive is concerned about the desire to increase pressure in 2025 from two opponents who are pushed, he says, by “ the clock that is ticking “, ” a biological clock » according to him for the 73-year-old Insoumis, “ an inheritance clock » for the RN deputy followed by Jordan Bardella. It remains to be seen how long, in the face of their attacks, Emmanuel Macron will succeed in moving the presidential clock forward.
