**Increasing Pressure from the Far Right in France: Calls for Macron and His Government's Dismissal**

The French far-right party "National Rally" has directed strong criticism at President Emmanuel Macron and joined the list of political forces calling for his departure, alongside demands for the ousting of Prime Minister Michel Barnier due to the budget.

The pressure from the far right on the government reached its peak through an assertion by the party's Vice President, Sébastien Chenu, who proposed the president's withdrawal from power as a means to navigate the political deadlock that the country has been experiencing since the early elections that followed the dissolution of the National Assembly last June. While this proposal is a bold move, Chenu appeared confident regarding the potential "consequences" of such an action.

In his remarks to LCI, Chenu stated, "We bear full responsibility and are aware of the consequences that might result from withholding confidence in the government." He outlined the options available to Macron, which range from reappointing the current Prime Minister, appointing a new Prime Minister, holding a referendum, or resigning if no other solution is forthcoming.

Meanwhile, his colleague Philippe Ballard spoke about the possibility of the president's early departure if the government falls following the budget review. When asked about the potential consequences, he replied, "Emmanuel Macron could also bear his responsibilities; it's unnecessary to call for his resignation; he could be held accountable."

These statements come at a time when voices from the left, including the "France Unbowed" party, are joining the more explicit calls for Macron's departure. The party leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, considered that the impeachment of the president is the only way out of the current crisis, reaffirming this position in mid-November when he said, "It is our duty to demand the impeachment of the President of the Republic."

Recently, MP François Ruffin also urged the president to "seriously consider" resignation, expressing his dissatisfaction with his political choices, stating, "What do we do? I demand this; I would like the question to be posed to the President of the Republic who made all these decisions," accusing him of "diminishing France."

The political landscape in France appears tense, as pressure mounts from various political directions for fundamental changes in leadership, while the current government continues to face significant challenges.
