Macron summons parliamentary party leaders over rising global instability and its domestic impact
President Emmanuel Macron called the heads of parties represented in Parliament to the Élysée, warning that growing international instability is driving up fuel, energy and fertilizer prices and threatening French purchasing power and democracy.
French intelligence agencies have reported a swift decline in the global environment, with conflicts spreading and intensifying. The ripple effect is seen in higher costs for fuel, energy and fertilizers, which erode household buying power. Worried that these pressures could destabilise democracy, President Emmanuel Macron invited the leaders of all parliamentary parties to a Friday meeting at the Élysée to discuss a coordinated response.
Why it matters
The meeting shows France’s leadership taking coordinated action against global instability that is hurting the economy and democratic stability.
