France’s President Emmanuel Macron has opted to avoid calling a snap election despite the ongoing political crisis in the country. According to BFMTV, Macron will instead seek to find another candidate to take over as prime minister and attempt to pass a budget. This decision comes after Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault lost a confidence vote on September 8.

While Macron has the power to call an election, it seems that his preference is to try to find a way to stabilize the situation rather than resorting to early polls. The president’s decision is likely influenced by the fact that a snap election could lead to unpredictable results and potentially destabilize the country further.

The political crisis in France has been ongoing since Ayrault called for a confidence vote in an attempt to address the country’s deepening economic woes. However, his decision has been met with criticism from opposition parties, who accuse him of being too slow to act and failing to address the root causes of the problem.

As a result, Macron is now under pressure to find a solution that can restore stability to French politics. The president is said to be in talks with various political parties, including The Republicans, Renaissance, and Horizons, in an attempt to find a compromise that can save Ayrault’s government.

While the situation remains fluid and unpredictable, it is clear that Macron is determined to avoid a snap election and instead seek a more constructive solution to the crisis. The fate of Ayrault’s government and the future of French politics hang in the balance as Macron works to find a way forward.
