Ahead of the confidence vote scheduled for September 8, 2025, Jordan Bardella, leader of the Rassemblement National (RN), has called on French President Emmanuel Macron to either dissolve the National Assembly or resign to resolve the current political deadlock. Bardella emphasized the need to return to the polls to break the institutional impasse, with the RN firmly opposing the government's confidence motion. Edwige Diaz, RN deputy for Gironde, stated the party's goal is to secure an absolute majority in the National Assembly. The call for dissolution has also been supported by other RN figures, including spokesperson Thomas Ménagé, who described it as necessary for the national interest. Meanwhile, some commentators and politicians have expressed concerns about the potential economic cost and democratic implications of a new dissolution. Isabelle Saporta, an editorialist, described the situation as resembling a democratic denial, while Mathieu Plane from the OFCE highlighted the economic impact of a possible dissolution. Opinions on Macron's resignation vary: Laurent Jacobelli of RN believes Macron has "done his time," whereas Richard Ramos of MoDem doubts the president will step down prematurely. Other political voices, such as Sandrine Rousseau of Les Écologistes, anticipate Macron's departure as inevitable, citing a loss of public support for the current liberal system. Former presidential advisor Henri Guaino warned that Macron's resignation could be catastrophic for French institutions and noted the difficult political environment for any prime minister under current conditions. The unfolding political tensions reflect deep divisions within France's political landscape ahead of the upcoming parliamentary confidence vote.
