Italy apprehensive about potential impacts on Europe following the collapse of François Bayrou's administration

In recent developments, the political crisis in France has raised concerns for European stability, with prominent figures such as Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Antonio Tajani voicing their worries.

On an unspecified date, later than September 8, 2020, Mélenchon, a notable French politician, made his concerns known on a French channel, France 2. He emphasised that a shaken major European country causes difficulties for others, and specifically pointed to the potential economic instability on the continent as a result of the ongoing crisis in France.

The French President, Emmanuel Macron, is actively working to resolve the crisis. Following the fall of the previous government in September 2025, he appointed Sébastien Lecornu as Prime Minister to stabilise the government and facilitate budget agreements.

Mélenchon's comments come amidst a complex political landscape. The Bayrou government in France was toppled, and Mélenchon hailed a "popular victory" following this event.

The situation in the Middle East is also a concern for Europe, as mentioned by Mélenchon. He underscored the importance of Europe building peace in the region. Moreover, he believes that Europe needs to negotiate with the United States on tariffs to maintain economic stability.

Meanwhile, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has expressed hope for a quick solution to the political crisis in France. He made his comments on the Rete 4 channel on September 8, 2020, voicing his concerns about the repercussions of the French crisis on Europe. Tajani also praised France's political stability, especially in contrast to the current instability.

Tajani expressed optimism that French President Macron will successfully resolve the crisis in France. He urged Macron to act swiftly to prevent any potential damage to Europe's economy, as a situation of instability in France could cause significant harm.

In a show of unity, Tajani emphasised the need for Europe to achieve peace in Ukraine. He believes that Europe needs unity to overcome challenges and maintain stability.

Mélenchon, too, expressed hope for the quick resolution of the crisis in France. His comments underscore the urgency of the situation and the need for swift action to maintain European stability.
