1 year agoAccording to the French Constitution, the President cannot serve more than 2 consecutive terms. Macron was elected in 2017 and relected in 2022 (against the far-right candidate) so he can’t be candidate in 2027.
Before 2027, there won’t be any meaningful national election in France (European congress in 2024 and municipal elections in 2026).
Also, Macron hasn’t the absolute majority at the French national assembly, but there are tools in the Constitution which allow the government to pass laws without a vote. And the opposition is not strong enough to dismiss the government.
They have 300 facial expressions for that.
