			Since the 2024 snap election France has been in a period of political crisis due to Macron losing his parliamentry majority. Macron has appointed a series of short lived [[Prime Minister of France\|Prime Ministers]], most recently [[Sébastien Lecornu]], but due to his refusual to compromise with other parties, his lack of government has empowered the [[Far-right politics\|far-right]]. Macron has been labelled the "worst" president of the Fifth Republic by former ally [[Alain Minc]] due to his reckless decision making and his denial of his own political failure.<ref name=":1">{{Web citation\|newspaper=[[Al Mayadeen]]\|title=Macron's mentor calls him 'worst' president, warns of far-right surge\|date=2025-11-06\|url=https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/macron-s-mentor-calls-him--worst--president--warns-of-far-ri}}</ref>

			=== Foreign policy ===
			In foreign affairs Macron developed a reputation of diplomatic incompetence, abandoning traditional French policy of neutrality on various issues advantageous to [[imperialism]] due to his impulsive need to tout French superiority. Examples of this include when he made a speech in [[Burkina Faso]] where he made offensive remarks and demanded that they be more grateful to the French soldiers stationed there. During the 2017 presidential election, Macron was more pragmatic, declaring that France’s colonisation of [[People's Democratic Republic of Algeria\|Algeria]] was a ‘crime against humanity’, but in 2021, once in power, he questioned Algeria’s existence as a [[nation]] before [[Colonialism\|colonization]].<ref name=":2">{{Web citation\|author=Grégory Rzepski\|newspaper=[[Le Monde diplomatique]]\|title=Macron’s foreign policy missteps\|date=2024-07-03\|url=https://mondediplo.com/2024/07/03macron-international\|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250906133244/https://mondediplo.com/2024/07/03macron-international\|archive-date=2025-09-06}}</ref>

			Macron is committed to the defence of imperialist allies [[Ukraine]] and [[State of Israel\|Israel]], having suggested sending troops to fight both [[Russian Federation\|Russia]] in the [[2022 Russo-Ukrainian conflict\|Russo-Ukrainian War]], and to fight [[Islamic Resistance Movement\|Hamas]] in [[State of Palestine\|Palestine]], in contrast Macron dragged his feet on recognising even the [[comprador]] government of the [[Palestinian National Authority\|Palestinian Authority]]. Macron also messed in the affairs of [[Lebanese Republic\|Lebanon]] after an explosion in the Beirut on August 4, 2020, demanding that they form a government, and when no progress was made due to his meddling, he threw a tantrum.<ref name=":2" />

			In the [[Pacific]], France was embarrased internationally by the formation of [[AUKUS]] in 2021 which subsequently led to [[Commonwealth of Australia\|Australia]] breaking a contract to buy diesel submarines from France.<ref name=":2" /> Macron also continued the colonial policy towards [[New Caledonia\|Kanaky]] of his predecessors and exaserbated it by giving Europeans increased voting power, sparking riots which were brutually crushed by the [[police]].<ref>{{Web citation\|newspaper=Socialist Party\|title=Kanaky-New Caledonia: Macron provokes protests and disorder\|date=2024-05-22\|url=https://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/124942/22-05-2024/kanaky-new-caledonia-macron-provokes-protests-and-disorder/\|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250325190538/https://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/124942/22-05-2024/kanaky-new-caledonia-macron-provokes-protests-and-disorder/\|archive-date=2025-03-25}}</ref>

			In [[Latin America]] Macron displayed disinterest, only making his first state visit to [[Federative Republic of Brazil\|Brazil]] in 2024, though previously he has argued with [[Jair Bolsonaro]] over [[climate change]] to position himself as a defender against the far-right. In 2019, he tried to appease [[Donald Trump]] by recognising [[Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela\|Venezuelan]] opposition leader [[Juan Guaidó]] as interim president, instead of [[Nicolás Maduro]], but was forced to back down after needing Venezualan oil to replace Russian oil due to sanctions.<ref name=":2" />
