French President Emmanuel Macron came out fighting against opposition parties who he said “chose chaos”

by bringing down his premier in a historic no-confidence vote, vowing not to step aside before the end of his term. “The mandate that you have entrusted to me democratically is a five-year mandate, and I will exercise it fully until its end,” Macron said on Thursday. Macron’s term runs until 2027, but he is facing rising pressure from opposition groups to step down early. The president said he would name a new prime minister “in the coming days”, as he hit out at the far-right Rassemblement National and the leftist Nouveau Front Populaire alliance.
