France-Soir<\/em> and the Association BonSens.org made a series of sociological surveys, with a third wave carried out on 27 and 28 March 2025 by MIS Group. After the January and February 2025 polls, which had already highlighted a crisis of confidence in the management of Emmanuel Macron<\/a> and opacity around the side effects of covid vaccines<\/a>, this new study paints an alarming portrait of French perceptions. At the approach of the 2027 election deadlines and in a climate of international tensions \u2013 especially around the conflict in Ukraine and global economic pressures, the French have expressed a deep rejection of their institutions and a desire for radical transformation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The free fall of institutions: a crisis of total legitimacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The survey reveals a massive disapproval: 76% of French people criticize the management of Emmanuel Macron, and only 4% believe that he is leading the country in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Legislative institutions are not spared: 69% disapprove of the National Assembly, 58% the Senate, and 56% the Council of State. Less than 20% of respondents have a favourable opinion of these counter-powers, a historically low figure that transcends political divides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This mistrust is explained by a perception of inefficiency and corruption: 71% do not have confidence in the government, 72% believe that it does not act in their interest, and 75% believe that corruption gangrenes the system.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In March 2025, the financial scandals involving local elected officials and dubious public contracts, relayed by the independent media, have only served to amplify this sentiment.<\/p>\n

Public spending in the viewfinder: fed up of waste<\/strong><\/p>\n

The French are unanimous: 93% denounce public spending tainted with waste, fraud and inefficiency.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a context in which the French public debt exceeds 120 % of GDP in 2025, according to IMF projections, 87 % require measures \u2013 even draconian \u2013 to restore the budgetary balance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And 89% believe that the opposition of right and left should impose a mission to reduce government spending! Could a waste reduction target involve members of the national representation? If the latter were really acting in the interest of the population, it could flow from source!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An overwhelming majority of 96% plebiscites a decrease in spending\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026. with 90% supporting a large-scale fight against fraud and 86% a reduction in budgets already voted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ZFE and global warming: when ecology becomes synonymous with exclusion and segregation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate policy is crystallizing tensions. The Low Emission Areas (ZFE), deployed in major cities such as Paris and Lyon, are perceived as discriminatory by 66% of French people, who see it as a law of social exclusion affecting the most modest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In March 2025, protests against the ZFE in Lille and Marseille, where motorists blocked roads, amplified this grumbling.<\/p>\n

On global warming, 77% are calling for a complete overhaul of current policies, criticising a dogmatic approach that ignores divergent scientific advice. The transition to wind divides: 53 % oppose ending the policy of energy transition to wind and 47% are in favour. This is a real subject, especially with the rise in prices of energy perceived as a real problem in the lives of the French.<\/p>\n

Unsustainable debt: categorical refusal of new sacrifices<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the French debt reached peaks in 2025, 81% of the respondents consider it unsustainable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Faced with this situation, the government\u2019s funding proposals are massively rejected:<\/p>\n
