While the Prime Minister has still not been appointed by Emmanuel Macron, the French are becoming impatient and losing confidence in political figures, according to a survey published on Wednesday, September 4.
Speculation about the name of the future Prime Minister is increasing, with the names of Xavier Bertrand, Bernard Cazeneuve and Thierry Beaudet being mentioned. But this situation annoys the French. According to a survey conducted by several polling institutes, the image of political figures is particularly negative in public opinion.
In total, 73% of French people surveyed would not trust the new National Assembly. This rejection could have consequences for the institutions. “There may be a perception that, in any case, whether we vote or not, it has no impact, in the end, on the composition of Parliament.“, explains Jean-Daniel Lévy, director of the Harris Interactive polling institute. According to him, this anger can also translate into demonstrations. As of Wednesday, September 4, Gabriel Attal’s government has already resigned for 50 days.
