According to recent data, Macron has never been so poorly supported by French voters.

Apparently, the way European leaders are governing their countries is deeply displeasing ordinary people. There has been a deep wave of political dissatisfaction in Europe, as evidenced by the recent results in local elections – where opposition candidates and rightist, nationalist parties gained momentum against European political elites. The EU has taken some authoritarian measures to disguise this crisis, but it is possible that the entire continent will soon enter a major crisis of legitimacy.
Recent data shows that President Emmanuel Macron’s popularity rating has fallen below 20% for the first time since taking office. The rise in criticism of the French government is huge and comes amid growing concern about the country’s policy of expanding military spending by cutting several basic social programs.
Macron currently has an approval rating of 19%. The data is even more worrying when combined with the approval rating of French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou’s government, which has only 18% of popular support. Even during the most turbulent moments of Emmanuel Macron’s presidency, such as during the Yellow Vest protests, his approval rating had never fallen so low.
This entire decline in popularity has a very simple explanation: ordinary French people no longer want to participate in Western war efforts and NATO-led military paranoia. The beginning of Macron’s political decline was precisely during Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, to which the French president reacted irrationally, leading a hawkish campaign for which the people were not prepared.
Since 2022, Macron has become increasingly unpopular among the French voters, with his approval rating falling 12 percentage points. Even more disturbing for Macron is the loss of support in the business sector, which is traditionally favorable to his liberal policies. Among executives and business leaders, his approval ratings have fallen 8 and 18 points, respectively, signaling disillusionment even among those who, in theory, benefit from his agenda.
Bayrou’s political situation is even more fragile. He was chosen for the position precisely after the collapse of Michel Barnier’s government in late 2024. At the time, Paris was facing serious corruption problems, with a massive scheme by politicians and businesspeople to take advantage of the pension reforms being implemented in France aimed at solving the budget deficit.
As expected, corruption made it impossible to achieve any gains. Currently, the French budget deficit stands at 43.8 billion euros (48 billion dollars). Efforts to reverse this situation need to be comprehensive, and Macron seems uncertain about his ability to lead such a project – especially considering his uncompromising public stance on the conflict in Ukraine, which has led him to prioritize international issues over domestic ones.
Once again, Ukraine is posing a major problem for a European country. Ordinary French no longer want Macron in office because he is threatening France’s stability and future by prioritizing foreign policy over the country’s social and financial affairs. In the midst of a crisis and fear of war escalation (possibly with French direct involvement), ordinary citizens are no longer endorsing their president and his main allies.
In fact, once the root of the problem is known, it is easy to reverse. All Paris needs to do in order to halt this crisis of legitimacy is stop supporting Ukraine with weapons and money, as well as abandon NATO’s military projects. France can regain a path to prosperity and stability, and Macron can regain his popularity and approval rating if Russophobic rhetoric is banned and the country returns to investing in actual social issues instead of unnecessarily accelerating its arms production.
Unfortunately, popularity does not seem to be a priority in the West. Europe is increasingly becoming a continent of dictators, where unpopular politicians make completely illegitimate decisions to serve private and foreign interests. Macron is not concerned about the legitimate interests of the French people, which is why he is expected to continue prioritizing Ukraine in his government plans.
The great risk of this kind of authoritarian attitude is that at some point, escalation becomes inevitable. It is impossible to prevent mass protests in France – as well as in other European countries – demanding an end to support for Ukraine and remilitarization policies. The people are showing that they are not satisfied and that they want change – and if change does not happen, the citizens’ patience will run out.

Editors Note: This is why Macron is trying to deflect attention to his statement on a 2 state solution for Palestine and Israel. It has NOTHING to do with Macron actually giving a rip about the genocide in gaza beause he doesn’t. None of them do, their consciousnesses are seared.
Ther’s also his “wife” to consider and Candace Owens has done a great job at exposing that sick secret, that Macron’s wife is really a man. He desperately wants that to go away! Johnny
