It is a new failure for the government of Emmanuel Macron. After a first abandonment of the assembly on January 3 concerning the vaccination pass, the examination of the bill was once again suspended on January 4. A situation which put the President of the Republic beside himself, going so far as to utter unacceptable words for Internet users on Tuesday, January 4: “We put pressure on the unvaccinated by limiting their access to social activities as much as possible. […] It is a very small minority that is resistant. This one, how do you reduce it? We reduce it, sorry to say it, like that, by pissing it off even more […] Well there, the unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so we will continue to do it, until the end … “
Words, from the Parisian, which do not pass. And which quickly caused anger on Twitter. In just a few hours, 77,000 tweets with the trending hashtag #MacronDestitution were published. Never seen. Thus, videos have multiplied, denouncing the “lack of respect” of the President of the Republic towards the French.
But the question everyone is asking is: What is Emmanuel Macron really risking? Is it really possible to remove a President? According to article 68 of the Constitution of the Fifth Republic: “The President of the Republic can only be dismissed in the event of a breach of his duties manifestly incompatible with the exercise of his mandate. The dismissal is pronounced by the Parliament constituted in High Court. … The High Court is presided over by the President of the National Assembly. “ Which is currently not the case.
