We're back! After two months of hiatus (a typical French long holiday weekend) Juliette explains why France needs a new Prime Minister and government, how elections are not likely, and how there are two articles in the French constitution that describe how to topple a government*.

We discuss a number of other problems France has, the largest by far being the budget law for 2025. 

A number of potential names for Prime Minister come by. Does it even matter?

As usual Brigitte Macron makes an appearance in her role as top Macron-influencer.

Two happy notes: we managed to go through this without mentioning Donald Trump! And we do mention Marine Le Pen, in context of her maybe being barred from holding elected office.

*yes, the French people historically have a third way to "topple" a government. We mention it :-)

(and apologies to my dad, he's not *that* old - Pepijn)
