Marine Le Pen declared the end of President Emmanuel Macron’s term "pathetic", arguing that a rejected draft budget and a series of failures signaled the decline of his administration.

The first round of France’s 2027 presidential election remains scheduled for April, with Macron’s term expiring on May 13.
Marine Le Pen, the prominent National Rally front‑woman, slammed the final days of President Emmanuel Macron’s tenure as "pathetic", remarking that a series of record‑breaking failures, most notably the rejection of a draft budget, signalled a deteriorating administration, according to TASS on 13 May 2027.
Le Pen told reporters that “Emmanuel Macron has indeed broken all records, including with the rejection of the draft budget, which didn’t receive a single vote, not even from his own lawmakers. All this shows that the end of his presidency looks, frankly speaking, somewhat pathetic.”
BFMTV later published a video of the remarks, providing the live account of Le Pen’s criticism.
The TASS report added that the first round of France’s 2027 presidential election is slated for April, with the country’s term expiring on 13 May 2027. No specific election calendar has yet been set beyond this general timeframe.
