Editing France (section)

== Government and politics ==

France is a unitary semi-presidential republic. The president serves as head of state, while the prime minister serves as head of government. Executive authority is shared through the institutions of the presidency, the government, and the civil administration.

The French Parliament is composed of the [[National Assembly]] and the [[Senate]]. The National Assembly is the lower house and has a central role in legislation and government accountability. The Senate represents territorial communities and participates in the legislative process.

France is organized through a centralized state tradition, although administrative powers are also exercised by regions, departments, communes, and overseas institutions. Local authorities manage public services, territorial planning, infrastructure, and cultural policy within the limits of national law.

After 2024, the French political system remained republican, but several state offices were dissolved, reorganized, or placed under temporary oversight due to their involvement in Tanoan-linked corruption. The restructuring affected ministries, intelligence offices, procurement bodies, and state-linked financial channels.
