Well, number five didn’t last long. Now French President Emmanuel Macron will be looking for Prime Minister #6.

France’s new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has resigned only a few weeks after his installation. Just yesterday he appointed the cabinet, and today he quits. With the parliamentary government collapsing repeatedly, and with serious economic and financial issues around the French government, things are increasingly spiraling.

FRANCE – […] Lecornu, France’s fifth PM in less than two years, had his work cut out to convince the country — and investors — that he can unite a fractious and divided parliament enough to get a 2026 budget over the line.

He was installed in early September against a backdrop of public unrest and dissatisfaction over the messy state of French affairs, after several successive governments failed to pass budgets detailing spending cuts and tax rises.

A former defense minister and longtime ally of French President Emmanuel Macron, Lecornu resigned just hours after naming a new cabinet on Sunday. The new cabinet, which saw most high-profile figures remain in their posts, was due to hold its first meeting on Monday.

Now, France has been plunged into a new political crisis which will put massive pressure on Macron, who has now installed three failed minority governments.

Lecornu was due to make a speech in front of parliament, the National Assembly, on Tuesday laying out his government’s roadmap.

Parties on both the left and right of the political spectrum in France were watching closely, as were investors and the European Commission in Brussels, to see how Lecornu planned to close a budget deficit of 5.8% in 2024. France’s debt pile amounted to 113% of GDP in 2024.

Both levels are far above EU rules demanding that individual members’ deficits should not exceed 3% of GDP, while their public debt should not surpass 60% of economic output. (read more)

In addition to the Japanese election victory of Sanae Takaichi, now positioned to be the first female Prime Minister of Japan, both the Czech Republic and nation state of Georgia held elections yesterday.

♦ In the Czech Republic, billionaire businessman Andrej Babis won parliamentary elections, with his populist ANO party receiving around 35% of the vote. This gains ANO 80 seats in the 200-seat lower house – up from 72 seats four years ago.

Andrej Babis will now likely enter a coalition with anti-Green Deal “Motorists for Themselves,” (lol) and the anti-illegal immigrant Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party, led by the Czech-Japanese entrepreneur Tomio Okamura. While this coalition will likely not exit the EU, this coalition will strongly push-back against the efforts of Brussels bureaucrats to control the national decisions of independent nations.

The biggest loser in the Czech election is Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who has relied upon a sketchy assembly of Czech arms dealers to provide him weapons via highly corrupt NATO/EU payment systems. As noted by the BBC, Babis “has already vowed to scrap the successful Czech ammunition initiative – which has delivered 3.5 million shells to Ukraine since 2022.

“Babis claims it lacks transparency, but Czech government officials who created the scheme say it works precisely because it is not transparent. Under the initiative, Czech arms dealers use their international contacts to procure shells for Ukraine on the global market, with the bulk of the money coming from EU and NATO partners. Some of the producers are in countries that have relationships with Russia but as the deal is arranged with Czech dealers their involvement remains private.”

In essence, the Czech arms dealers delivering weapons to Ukraine are also delivering weapons to Russia. [Sound familiar?]

The new Czech government will continue letting NATO/USA buy weapons for Ukraine from Czech arms dealers, but the govt will no longer permit the operation from hiding the transactions. Russia will know which of their arms suppliers are also delivering weapons to Ukraine. [Oh dear]

♦ The other big election outcome was the municipal elections in Georgia. Following the 2024 independent Parliamentary elections of Georgia Dream, the entire apparatus of western NGOs, western intelligence, EU and NATO alliances, have been funding opposition efforts in Georgia.

Their EU’s yearlong manipulation effort culminated in a massive rally, turned riot, on the streets of Tbilisi last night. However, the Georgian people rejected the pro-EU manipulation and resoundingly elected Georgia Dream (nationalists) to lead their municipal elections. Mayoral and council elections were won by candidates who supported the sovereign state of Georgia.

The biggest losers in the Georgia elections were EU President Ursula von der Leyen, the Brussels bureaucrats and again Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Tbilisi (AFP) – Georgia’s ruling party won local elections Saturday and police fired tear gas and water cannons at anti-government protesters who tried to enter the presidential palace, as tens of thousands of people rallied to the opposition’s call to save democracy. (more)

I think ‘the new awakening’, post Ukraine and post EU mobilization, includes a growing understanding of what this new “save democracy” claim is all about. None of it has anything to do with elections, freedom or liberty.

The people who organize these “save democracy” rallies, have a totally different perspective on what democracy actually is. They view nationalism, national identity, as something against the interests of the global democracy of totalitarian elites they wish to create.

This is a new era, where people are starting to recognize the ‘save democracy’ brand for what it really is. That gives me hope.

The government of Georgia should be held up for praise when considering their approach.

Many strong nationalists may not like it, but the Georgia ruling party openly, Georgia Dream, let the left-wing “new democracy” crowd protest for over a year. The Pro-EU troops marched in the streets and yet the govt did not stop the protests all year.

Instead, the nationalist govt permitted dissent, even when it was uncomfortable – which is, as we know, a tenuous approach. The Marxists always exploit the willingness of noble govt to remain solid in their view of counter argument.

The Georgia Dream decision to permit the continued antagonism by the Brussels funded crowds could have ended badly. However, while the govt permitted the protests, they simultaneously made the argument for sovereign control over their own country. They let the leftists shout at trees, while the Georgia govt made the better argument. It takes courage to do this.

Ultimately, this approach showed how the protest group was in the minority, and how the majority of the Georgian people stand firm on the side of sovereign nationalism.

Compare that approach to how the leftists in Romania and Moldova responded to protests. Both governments targeted dissent, attacked the sovereign nationalist movement, banned opposing views, made opposition to their ideology unlawful and weaponized government against their own election systems.

You might think the brutal totalitarian approach by both Romania and Moldova ended with victory for the oppressive fascists currently in power; but they govern in a very tenuous and unstable position. (Same with Ukraine, same with France).

The unstable nature of their “new democracy” leaves their governing structures exceptionally vulnerable. The need for control is driven by fear.

The government of Georgia doesn’t need to fear the future; while the governments of Romania, Moldova, Ukraine and France certainly do, and that’s why they’re acting like it.

PRO TIP: In the end, God wins!
