26.08.2025The day Bayrou offered "chaos or responsibility" choice
French media on August 26th remained fixated on Prime Minister François Bayrou's upcoming September 8th confidence vote, which he framed as a stark choice between "chaos or responsibility." Opposition parties, including the Socialists, confirmed their intent to vote against, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon called for President Macron's resignation if Bayrou's government fell. Concerns over economic stability led to declines in French banks and warnings of potential IMF intervention. Bayrou pledged to "fight like a dog" and proposed taxing high earners to reduce the deficit. President Macron indicated he would not "wish" for dissolution but reserved his constitutional power. Concurrently, a new dominant story emerged: the legal fallout from streamer Jean Pormanove's death, with the Paris prosecutor investigating and the Digital Minister suing the Kick platform for "failings." Separately, President Macron strongly rejected Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's "accusations of inaction" on antisemitism.
