State of political inaction

Paris: There is a saying in Europe: “When France sneezes, Europe catches a cold” (When France sneezes, Europe catches a cold.) This is what happened in the parliamentary elections in France, as the left-wing coalition defeated the right-wing. The group won a large number of seats and riots broke out across the country. While there is a festive atmosphere in the left coalition, members of the right-wing coalition have started fighting against them. Tires are burning and fire is spreading everywhere. While in the Stalingrad-Square of the capital Paris, Molorov-cocktails are being thrown (petrol is filled in a thick wick in a glass and the glass catches fire as soon as it is thrown) and smoke bombs are being thrown.

The situation is similar in all other cities of the country including the capital Paris.

This time in France, no party or coalition has got a clear majority. The left parties claim that they can form the government alone against the right-wing coalition led by Marinell Panel, which lost in the National Rally, but they say that the left coalition did not even get a simple majority, so their claim is false.

Notably, President Emmanuel Macron's centrist party is allied with the left-wing coalition New Popular Front. Macron himself opposes riots, which is natural. But as unemployment and inflation have taken hold in Europe's most fertile country, public outrage has erupted.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Paris and are constantly shouting slogans, everyone hates every fascist. (Fascism is a far-right and blind nationalist ideology)

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has submitted his resignation letter to President Macron this evening.

A majority in France's 577-seat National Assembly requires 289 seats, so the left-wing coalition has fewer seats but claims to govern as the largest bloc.

At such a time, President Macron is going to attend the NATO summit in Washington this week. Then it is still not certain who will become the Prime Minister of the country? There is a state of political paralysis in France at this time.

Observers also say that in America too, on one hand, there is unusually skyrocketing prosperity, while on the other hand, millions of people are living in extreme poverty. There too, it cannot be said when the volcano of discontent will erupt.
