France faces an "autumn of discontent"
Jin10 data reported on August 26 that Charlotte de Montpellier, an analyst at ING, wrote that France is heading into turbulent political waters after Prime Minister Borne requested a confidence vote for his minority government at the beginning of next month. Borne is likely to lose in the election, ending his brief term as Prime Minister. This leaves President Macron with a choice: appoint a new government leader (who will face the same restrictions in a divided National Assembly as Borne) or call for new parliamentary elections, the outcome of which is unpredictable. Either path will inject new uncertainty into an already fragile political landscape.
