75% of French people are disappointed in President Emmanuel Macron, an Ifop survey revealed, marking his worst showing in a public poll since the 2018 yellow vests protests.

French newspaper Journal du Dimanche published the survey results on Saturday, showing the leader's approval rating has decreased as low as 25%, with a 75% disapproval rating.

The poll found that respondents accused Macron of having a "disproportional ego that ruined everything" by dissolving the French parliament and calling for snap elections that resulted in a hung parliament.

2,098 French adults were surveyed between September 11-20, where more than half disapproved of Macron's appointment of right-wing Prime Minister Michel Barnier, stating he disregarded the people's vote for change.

French parliament to consider resolution on Macron's impeachment

The National Assembly, the French parliament's lower house, will consider a resolution concerning the impeachment of President Emmanuel Macron, proposed by the left-wing La France Insoumise group on Tuesday.

The initiative was put forth after Macron ruled out the left's participation in the government formation, despite the coalition emerging victorious in the recent parliamentary elections held in July.

The resolution is in accordance with Article 68 of the constitution, allowing the possible removal of the president from power if he violates his duties. 

The proposal was supported by 81 members of the left-wing New Popular Front (NPF) alliance, including 72 lawmakers from the La France Insoumise party, along with support from the Greens and several other parliament members from the Left Democrats and Republicans group.
