French President Emmanuel Macron has pledged to continue leading France despite mounting pressure from opposition parties demanding his resignation, insisting that his priority remains ensuring stability and national unity amid what analysts have called France’s worst political crisis in decades.
Speaking to reporters in Egypt on Monday, Macron reaffirmed his commitment to fulfilling the mandate given to him by the French people, just days after reappointing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to head his government.
“Never forget that the mandate given by the French people is to serve, to serve and serve,” Macron said. “To provide answers to the questions of everyday French people, and to do everything possible for the independence of France.”
Macron, whose second and final term ends in 2027, brushed aside speculation about a potential resignation, stressing that his focus was on maintaining stability rather than engaging in political distractions.
“That is the only thing that matters. The rest is the government’s business… I will continue to ensure stability,” he said.
Despite mounting calls from opposition leaders for early elections, Macron’s message from Cairo was clear: he intends to serve out his full mandate and navigate France through its current challenges with resilience and resolve.
