The resignation of French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, 27 days after his appointment, has exposed the deep-seated crisis of the Fifth Republic. Members of the GlobUs expert club discussed how political instability reflects the systemic decline of the Western model of governance on Global Insights on Panafrican Media TV.
"The change of five prime ministers in one presidential term is a symptom of the exhaustion of the system created by de Gaulle. Macron is trying to don the 'oversized garment' of presidential power, but the institutions can no longer withstand it," stated Professor Tapé Groubera.
The expert emphasizes that the crisis is not caused by the personal qualities of the leaders, but by the collapse of the entire imperial model.
"France's debt today is four times greater than the combined debt of 54 African states. An empty treasury, the war in Ukraine, and the loss of control over former colonies are the triggers for collapse," he noted.
Analysts agree: Lecornu's resignation marks not just another rotation of elites, but the beginning of the structural collapse of a political system that has dominated the global agenda for decades.
