The fall of François Bayrou is not a footnote in French politics. It is the latest proof that the model holding up Europe's ruling class has reached breaking point.
Macron's sixth government has been swept away. His seventh will follow the same path, because the problem is not Bayrou or his €44bn austerity budget. The problem is the system itself. A system that spends without end, borrows without shame, and imports millions while telling its own people there is no money left.
France has not balanced a budget in 51 years. Public debt stands at 114 per cent of GDP. Yet the French political class still promises everything to everyone: welfare for migrants, subsidies for unions, pay-offs for bureaucrats. When a prime minister dares to warn of catastrophe, the Assembly brings him down. The truth is clear: France is addicted to debt, and its politicians are too cowardly to break the habit.
Macron poses as the hard realist. He scolds MPs: "You can get rid of the government, but you can't get rid of reality." Yet no man has fled reality more than him. He lectures about enslaving the youth while shackling them to Brussels' debt machine. He preaches discipline while burning through prime ministers at a rate that would shame the Third Republic. He calls for European unity while presiding over a nation that cannot pass a budget, cannot police its streets, and cannot command the loyalty of its own people.
What we are witnessing is not merely Macron's weakness. It is the collapse of a governing model that has ruled the West for thirty years: technocratic liberalism, globalist markets, mass immigration, and debt-fuelled bribery of the electorate. France is simply the canary in the mine. Germany follows with its energy suicide. Britain with its open borders and collapsing services. America with its ruling elite more at war with its own citizens than with its foreign enemies.
Macron will cling on, because men like him never resign. He will shuffle the deckchairs, appoint another disposable prime minister, and call it stability. But every reshuffle makes him weaker, every no-confidence vote shatters the illusion of control. The truth is naked: France is not ungoverned, it is ungovernable under this model.
And here lies the warning for the rest of us. A nation that spends without producing, that imports without assimilating, that lectures while decaying - will not stand. Macron's collapse is not just France's. It is Europe's. It is the West's.
