That is exactly the point of this movement. France 5th Republic has the president holding too much power. They want to write a new constitution, the 6th Republic, to address this issue and establish a system with more power separation and balance. And possibly more space for direct democracy?
It’s a long story but basically instead of doing amendments the french like to start with a clean slate every time the current system seems inadequate.
Previous republics ended due to wars, revolutions and political deadlock.
What we all need is more democracy. In fact, we are seeing the shadow of Nazism returning.

My question is why must the entire Republic be changed? I am not French or into French politics so I don’t know why the republics change so often?
