The current constitution, designed to maintain centrist governance, restricts fresh elections and leaves the government in a caretaker role, unable to pass new legislation.
Public sentiment largely blames President Macron for the chaos, with many calling for his resignation, but he remains determined to finish his term. The fragmented political landscape, exacerbated by an outdated electoral system, has left France seemingly ungovernable, with no clear path to resolution.

President Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden, despite prior assurances against it, has raised eyebrows among conservatives who view it as a cover-up for the president's own alleged involvement in influence-peddling. Hunter's business ties, particularly with Burisma during his father's vice presidency, are seen as conflicts of interest.
The narrative surrounding Hunter Biden has polarized opinions, with conservatives alleging a coordinated effort to protect the Biden family, while Democrats view Hunter as a victim of political targeting. This divide highlights a broader distrust in the political narrative surrounding the Biden family and their business dealings.
