French media on August 30th began by reporting a US federal appeals court ruling a significant portion of Donald Trump's tariffs illegal, with the case moving to the Supreme Court. Concurrently, domestic political focus remained on Prime Minister Bayrou's impending confidence vote and the anticipated destabilization of President Macron's mandate. The Socialist Party actively positioned itself, presenting a detailed alternative budget aimed at halving the deficit and publicly offering its services to Macron for a post-Bayrou era. Mid-morning, a deliberate car ramming incident in Évreux resulted in one death and five injuries, becoming a prominent news item. However, the day's editorial landscape dramatically shifted in the evening with a new poll indicating the far-right Rassemblement National would widely lead intentions in case of snap legislative elections. This development immediately heightened discussions around the "spectre of dissolution" for the National Assembly, intensely framing all ongoing political maneuvers.
