The French government collapsed quickly, raising fears about the rise of the far right and the impact on the eurozone economy.

The political crisis in France, marked by the rapid collapse of Sébastien Lecornu's government, raises concerns in Europe about economic stability and international politics. In the context of the war in Ukraine and global challenges, European officials fear that France's influence under Emmanuel Macron will weaken, facilitating the rise of the far right. Political instability in France could affect the EU's budget negotiations and could pave the way for significant gains by populist parties.
