Barely appointed, François Bayrou already on borrowed time!

A government under tension

At this end of the year, political parties seem more disconnected than ever from the concerns of the French people. After a chaotic political year, marked by President Macron's defeats in the European and legislative elections, the catastrophic dissolution of Parliament led to institutional chaos and a fourth government in the year.

After 91 days at Matignon, for the first time since 1962, a government of the 5ème République was censured by the Assemblée nationale. Michel Barnier had to submit the resignation of his government to the Head of State. Barely censured, here he is already back in the saddle.

The President of the Republic, disavowed by small business leaders, is called upon to resign by half of them!

A new Prime Minister facing chaos

On December 17, Michel Barnier took the helm of the Comité d’organisation des Jeux Olympiques d’hiver 2030. Meanwhile, François Bayrou, an early supporter of Macron and an advocate of political overcoming, was appointed Prime Minister. President of the Modem, mayor of Pau, Haut-Commissaire au plan, three-time candidate for the Élysée, he inherits the chaos created by the president.

He will have to align his political convictions with reality. In the midst of the crisis in Mayotte, he has already been criticized in the Assemblée nationale for choosing to chair the Conseil municipal de Pau rather than going to the island. After about ten days, the government was formed.

The concern of entrepreneurs

But, barely appointed, the Bayrou government is already strongly contested. While Bayrou says he is proud of this new government, the Gauche spoke of a provocation in this choice and blamed people who had already been disavowed. The RN, through Jordan Bardella, quickly countered, citing 'a coalition of failure'. Especially since on the economic front, the record left by Bruno Lemaire is terrible!

Thus, Legalstart, an online platform dedicated to business creation and management, published the results of a survey of 1,000 small business owners. It aimed to identify their hopes, fears, and convictions in this unprecedented political situation. The result: 71% of entrepreneurs say they are worried, including 50% who are very worried.

For 79% of small business owners, the political context has a direct impact on their business and generates fears about tax uncertainty (62% of entrepreneurs) and falling demand (48%). In short, it is a damning indictment of Macron, who has lost the confidence of 78% of business leaders due to the political instability he created.

More serious: The President of the Republic, disavowed by small business owners, is called upon to resign by half of them! Unprecedented! It is not much better for François Bayrou, who is supported by only 40% of SME owners. His government is in place, but for how long? For LFI, which had predicted the fall of Michel Barnier's government, the Bayrou government will not survive the winter. The survival of France deserves better than this prophecy of gravediggers!
