French President Emmanuel Macron is facing impeachment proceedings—initiated by a coalition of left-wing parties amid claims the president acted in an undemocratic manner in the wake of the recent parliamentary elections. Despite passing the first hurdle, the process is unlikely to succeed due to a lack of parliamentary support. The situation adds to the ongoing political turmoil in France, with Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s ability to form a government still shrouded in uncertainty.
