Political firestorm in France: Le Pen accuses Macron of preparing ‘coup d’etat’

(SQAUK) — In a stunning twist in French politics, Marine Le Pen has accused President Emmanuel Macron of engineering an “administrative coup d’état.” This allegation arises from a series of rapid appointments by Macron, including installing a new military governor of Paris and other key positions. Le Pen contends that these moves are deliberately obstructing the potential leadership of the National Rally. Macron’s office vehemently denies the accusations despite these claims, dismissing them as politically motivated. This unfolding controversy occurs as the National Rally, led by Jordan Bardella, stands on the brink of potentially securing an absolute majority in the National Assembly. With the crucial July 7 runoff approaching, intense political maneuvers and alliances are being formed to sway the outcome.
