They could but they won't have enough votes to go through with it unfortunately. The assembly is roughly 33% of the three big groups, the united left, Macron's party and the far right. With the united left having slightly more seats than the other two.

To be fair we're pretty tired and hopeless, most people are apathetic now because nothing seems to be working.

Strikes and demonstrations are vilified by the media, the left is not united enough to hit as hard as they should, the president is a child throwing tantrums to have it the way he wants, the media is owned by very few people so they control the narrative, etc.

It honestly feels hopeless, most people want change, but to a lot of people the demonising of the left has worked and the far right seems to be a reasonable option now.

It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better unfortunately...

As far as I know, by tradition, Macron should have taken the NFP's candidate as prime minister even though they only had a small majority. Then the assembly could have censored the government or not, basically triggering a new election if they did.
Macron, knowing what we want better than everyone else, took a shortcut by making shoddy alliances with the traditional right and the far right to name Barnier.

The only reason he refused to name Castet was because she wanted to reverse his retirement reform (which was also rejected by the far right, so it could have actually been removed). But the official communications were all about "nobody really won the election" or "it would be ungovernable".

Macron is a child throwing tantrums because what he wants is best and he knows better than us peasants, he sees himself as a benevolent dictator, as in, he is making the tough decisions because he knows he's right. And in our constitution, the president has extensive powers that allow him to act in such a way if he wants to, with basically no checks and balances but honesty and tradition.

And in all that, some members of his former government won seats at the assembly, and kept their positions as ministers too. So we had deputies-ministers, wrapping up the "urgent matters" and setting themselves up for their next jobs. They effectively wrote budgets that, they themselves will vote for in the next few weeks. That's effectively breaking the separation of power

This is a counter argument to having a constitution that allows the president to do what Macron did. There are basically nothing stopping him besides tradition and good will.

Well, maybe if the Israeli government stopped being an imperialistic genocidal expansionist supremacist racist bunch of jackasses, being allowed to act with impunity, maybe the genocidal antisemitic terrorist groups around them would also accept to de-escalate too.

Lebanon is in complete disarray after the explosion, they probably have other things to think about currently.
Syria has been fighting a civil war for the past 15 years, so probably the same.

Israel is being funded and armed by the US and the EU to bomb Gaza, genocide Palestinian and colonize what's left of their lands. Hezbollah personnel might be valid military targets but not their kids and not other innocent people that happen to be around them.

It's almost like that situation has two garbage groups of people killing each other, with even more twisted horrible means every time, harming innocent people in the process, and people like you thinking it's fine because "they started it".

The explosions happened in Lebanon and Syria, both of which are sovereign states and not at war with Israel.

It was two out of twelve deaths, and 276 wounded. And that's not an act of war, Israel is not at war with Lebanon. That's just state sponsored terrorism.

Well they killed two of them, that's two too many. If you want to assassinate someone, make sure you kill the target and not innocents.

The kids that died from that shit were Hamas/Hezbollah

Because some people used it as an excuse to divide us further. Unity is bad when the only thing you want is keeping your power.
