One of the most important allies of Emmanuel Macron called on the French President of the State to stop the elections and contact the new presidential elections, and to accumulate pressure on it to find a way out of the largely escalating political crisis.

Speaking a day after the fourth government has collapsed since Macron contacted the parliamentary elections last year, former Prime Minister Edward Philip urged the president to present the presidential competition to be held for 2027.

France needed “an organized and dignified manner from a political crisis that harms the country.” “Another 18 months of this is very long.”

Macron has become increasingly isolated since he was shocked to dissolve parliament last year to try to stop the emergence of the National Party to the far right in Marin Loop. But his organizer has met with reverse results, which led to a suspended parliament, the tight opposition and many prime ministers who were unable to stay longer than a few months.

Sebastian Likorno, the last appointment in Macron, resigned on Monday, less than a month after he was assigned to try to form a government. He is now involved in the recent talks with the parties to find a way out on Wednesday evening. If these negotiations fail, the president’s narrowing options include dissolving the National Assembly again, holding sudden parliamentary elections, or finding another possible prime minister.

Macron previously ruled out his final term and presented the presidential vote scheduled in 2027. But Philip, a moderate governor who was working as the Prime Minister during the first period of Macron, warned of the existence of a “terrible danger” that the new parliamentary elections would lead to a pending assembly and the development of the crisis.

Philip is widely seen as one of the main candidates facing the mantle of the president’s central bloc, although he is behind Luban or Jordan Bardela, head of the RN party.

Gabriel Atal, another former prime minister in Macron’s second term, as well as a potential candidate for the middle presidency, added to his teacher’s criticism on Monday evening. He said in TF1: “I no longer understand the president’s decisions,” he said in TF1.

Macron has not yet appeared. But the chances of success in Lecorno in finding another consensus appear slim in intermittent parliament and former allies, such as the right -wing right party, for the president.

Philip Macron also called for a prime minister to attack the insights of the sudden presidential vote by simply agreeing on a budget for the next year.

Political competitors have passed on the signs of the dispute.

“It is time for Emmanuel Macron to go and for sovereign people to choose the future of this country,” said Manuel Bombard of the left -wing LFI party on X.

“The whole Macron movement is collapsing.”
