Alain Minc, former mentor of Emmanuel Macron, considers the current president of France to be the weakest head of state in the history of the Fifth Republic.

Alain Minc, an influential political advisor and former supporter of President Emmanuel Macron, has become a fierce critic of him, calling him the weakest president since 1958. Minc argues that Macron's narcissism has led to risky decisions that have affected French institutions and strengthened the far right ahead of the 2027 elections.

Although he was a supporter of Macron during his first term, their relationship has deteriorated due to the president's controversial decisions. Minc believes that Macron does not recognize that he is part of the problem and should focus on foreign policy instead of remaining caught up in internal political turmoil. He also warns that Macron's declining popularity could pave the way for the victory of the far-right party led by Marine Le Pen in the 2027 elections. Minc emphasizes the risks of a transition from liberal democracy to illiberal democracy, comparing the situation in France to global trends.
