The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, said in a televised statement tonight that he will remain in office until the end of his five-year term in 2027, and announced that he will appoint a new prime minister in a few days, but did not indicate who it might be.

Prime Minister Michel Barnier lost the confidence of Parliament on Wednesday, leaving France without a government, but it will continue to carry out current affairs until a new cabinet takes office.

Macron spoke harshly tonight, accusing his opponents on the extreme right of overthrowing the government because they chose "not to build, but to destroy" and "choose disorder", and he also said that the extreme right and the extreme left united in "anti-republican front".

"The mandate that you democratically entrusted to me lasts for five years and I will carry it out until it expires," Macron told the citizens as he faces calls to resign.

He ended his speech by appealing for unity with the cry "Long live the Republic, long live France!".
