Macron Defies Resignation Demands: "My Mandate Is To Serve France Until 2027"

French President Emmanuel Macron has firmly stated his commitment to remain in office despite mounting pressure from opposition forces calling for his resignation amid what is described as France's most severe political crisis in decades.

Speaking to journalists during his visit to Egypt, Macron emphasized his duty to the French people: "Never forget that the mandate given by the French people is to serve, to serve and serve, and to provide answers to the questions of everyday French people, and to do everything possible for the independence of France."

The statement comes shortly after Macron reappointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu to lead his government, a move that has further intensified political tensions in the country.

Macron clearly distinguished between his role and governmental affairs, asserting: "That is the only thing that matters. The rest is the government's business... I will continue to ensure stability."

The French president, whose final term is scheduled to conclude in 2027, appears determined to complete his mandate despite the ongoing political turmoil facing his administration.
