More than half of the French populace is expressing doubts about the effectiveness of their democratic system, according to a recent poll. This alarming statistic raises questions about the future of governance in France, especially in light of unprecedented political shifts. The poll, conducted by Ipsos for the Economic, Social, and Environmental Council (CESE), highlights a significant trend: 51% of respondents believe that "only a strong power" can ensure order and security in the country.
As France navigates through a tumultuous political climate—a situation exacerbated by President Emmanuel Macron's controversial decision to dissolve parliament—a staggering 76% of participants criticized politicians for being "disconnected from the realities of citizens." These sentiments reflect a broader dissatisfaction that could reshape the future of governance in France.
