The media and political analysts in the European Union (EU) today assess that the fall of the French government has seriously shaken the Franco-German axis and the entire EU, with the threat that it will also affect the euro zone itself.

The Polish newspaper "Žečpospolita" even believes that due to the political and economic crisis in both France and Germany, "the Berlin-Paris axis is no longer crucial for the EU and, in addition, as a consequence of the Ukrainian war, another power center of the Nordic, Baltic countries and of Poland".
The EU founded "in advance on the agreement of Berlin and Paris on key issues is no longer sufficient or valid", the Polish daily thinks.
Both French and other media in the EU believe that the position of French President Emmanuel Macron himself is in question and that his resignation may follow.
The German site "Eurointelligence" warns that "with the fall of the French government, chaos will now follow".
Many analysts express great fear that the EU will not be able to face the Ukrainian war due to the Berlin-Paris axis crisis and the new American President Donald Trump, who is not at all sympathetic to Europe.
The London weekly "Economist" states that "France has plunged into the unknown...there is no budget, no government, it is difficult to see how the deep political crisis in France can be resolved".
From the ranks of the Christian Democratic Party of Germany, which is the main favorite in the upcoming elections in Germany in February, a message still arrives that "Europe cannot be deprived of France, even though the fall of Barnier's government is to some extent a mortgage on the stability of Europe."
The Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera" makes it clear that "Macronism is dead" and that President Macron's attempt to re-establish a foothold in the political center has failed.
Mark Ringel, an analyst at the German-French Institute, warns that "the collapse of France and Germany came at a critical moment when we have to face a series of problems, from commercial tensions with China to the return of Trump, which requires a strong Europe."
"But if France is politically blocked just like Germany, how is it possible to move forward?" asks the analyst of the institute from Ludwigsburg.
