After only 18 months in office President Hollande's popularity is diving to all time lows !
Not only in the France as a whole, but even and also in all the groups on the left, like the Socialist Party, the Communists and the Greens, which elected him as President and then gave him a comfortable "coalition" majority in the National Assembly.
One cannot be sure at present whether he still has a working majority among Socialists alone. There are several critical dissidents.
How has this situation arisen ? Simply said, it is due to his lack of leadership, his hesitations, and even the incompetence of his Government.
His ultimate "forecast" is that "unemployment" will fall before end December 2013. In present conditions, French people are doubtful whether this "hope" will be fulfilled.
During recent weeks, the Government has attempted to create new taxes, but due to popular pressure was obliged to withdraw its projects. Some commentators see as another sign of weakness by Holland and his Government.
The question now is whether and when President Holland will "reshuffle" his Cabinet ? It contains 34 Ministers, 17 Male and 17 Female, of all constituant parties in the Coalition ! Some alas, are still completely unknown to electors !
Will Ayrault remain Prime Minister or will he be replaced by the very popular Minister of the Interior, Manuel Valls, in order to create the therapeutic shock required in France at present ?
