Huh? Oh yes, absolutely. What’s it about? Well, before talking about it, allow me to digress briefly into the political situation here in France.
Since June 9, 2024, we have to tell it like it is: France has become ungovernable.
European elections in June 2024, dissolution of the National Assembly immediately following, re-elections resulting in no party having a majority in the lower house.
The result is a flurry of Prime Ministers and governments, which are governments in name only.
Even establishing France’s annual budget has become an impossible mission, as it has no chance of passing such a diverse Assembly, with the added bonus of a motion of censure hanging over the sword of Damocles.
Just think: four Prime Ministers have succeeded one another in France since January 2024. That’s simply an enormous amount of work.
These frantic changes clearly reflect the current institutional instability. And, therefore, the impossibility of implementing any kind of government program.
So what does this have to do with Madagougou? Well, Madagougou is quite the opposite: the occupant of Iavoloha has managed to concentrate all the powers by neutralizing the opposition.
… but the bad news is that he’s not using these powers wisely, to create mahasoa things and contraptions. No, he’s on his own little planet where sensationalism must prevail. With all the appalling consequences we’re seeing today.
Back to France, the road ahead looks long and very complicated until the next presidential election in May 2027.
Unless the current occupant of the Élysée Palace finally decides to throw in the towel midway, which would be very surprising, but not entirely impossible given the country’s general situation.
What you need to know is that this political cacophony didn’t just happen: it’s the raw expression of democracy. The French people were asked to express themselves, twice they did, and this is the result.
An expression fueled by anger and fed-upness, that much we now know. And who’s coming from? Well, post-Covid-19, I’ve always said that it would make everyone go crazy.
Inflation, loss of purchasing power, poverty… that’s all it takes to make the plebs angry, and they’ve clearly shown it.
This anger has been well exploited by the extremists, for whom the road to 2027 is becoming increasingly clear.
Unfortunately, I don’t see any socioeconomic improvement by 2027 either, particularly with the rise of AI, which, in my opinion, and I’ve already said it, is actually a machine for creating unemployment.
Under these conditions, I don’t see why this political confusion (and fog) wouldn’t continue beyond 2027.
I’m no fortune teller. However, we’ll already have a first idea of popular trends in a few months, with the municipal elections in March 2026.
But hey, risk management, March 2026 is still a long way off; anything can still happen between now and then. New legislative elections… or even presidential elections? Wait and see, and it would already be a small miracle if France has a budget for 2026.
