00:00
A televised address to the nation, French President Emmanuel Macron received calls for
00:04
him to resign and said he hoped to name a new prime minister soon.
00:10
After Prime Minister Michael Bernier was asked by lawmakers in a non-confidence vote, the
00:15
president resisted calls for him to stand down, seeking instead to shift blame to the
00:20
left-wing and far-right factions.
00:23
In this address to the nation, the French head of state had harsh words for the far-right
00:29
National Rally whose leader Marine Le Pen has orchestrated opposition against him and
00:35
has vowed to frustrate his agenda.
00:38
Macron is halfway through his second and final term as president but the results of the snap
00:44
elections he called in June have severely complicated the final stage of his time in
00:49
power.
00:51
Nobody can afford to wait to act, to be useful.
00:58
The world and Europe are moving forward, and we need a government that can make decisions.
01:03
And finally, the mandate that you have democratically entrusted to me is for five years, and I will
01:09
exercise it to the full.
01:11
My responsibility is to ensure the continuity of the state, the proper functioning of our
01:16
institutions, the independence of our country and the protection of all of you.
01:26
We can't afford to be divided, and we can't afford to stand still.
01:30
This is why I will be appointing a prime minister in the next few days.
01:34
I will give him the task of forming a government in the common interest, representing all the
01:38
political forces of an arc of government that can participate in it or at the very least
01:43
undertake not to censure it.
01:45
The prime minister will have to carry out his consultations and form a tight government
01:49
at your service.
01:50
His priority will be the budget.
01:52
A special law will have to be tabled in parliament before mid-December.
01:56
This temporary law will ensure the continuity of public services and the life of the country,
02:01
as provided for in our constitution.
02:03
It will apply for 2025 the choices made in 2024.
