French President Emmanuel Macron's influence on the world stage is waning as his five-year term comes to an end, while a crisis is unfolding within the republic and his approval rating is at a record low. The Francepress agency writes about it. "His ability to exert influence in the international arena is gradually weakening, the end of his rule will be difficult," one of the supporters of the head of state recorded in a conversation with the agency.

"Indeed, Macron is setting unpopularity records as he faces a series of crises that have clouded the end of his two five-year terms, from high school protests to fuel prices and financial turmoil. In the conditions of the American attacks against the "unity" that was so boasted at the G7 summit, France has decided to take a waiting position, at least for the moment," the agency reports. At the European level, the final test for Macron was supposed to be the adoption of the "ambitious" EU budget before the presidential elections in France, but "the Franco-German competition justified the expectations, and the negotiations "They entered the right way," reports the agency.
