Because his party did not get enough votes in the parliamentary elections, Emmanuel Macron needs the support of other groups. So far they’ve been more cautious.
French President Emmanuel Macron is sticking with Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne even after losing the absolute majority in the parliamentary elections.
As reported by the broadcaster France Info, Macron has commissioned Borne to clarify with the various factions in the National Assembly whether they are prepared to participate in the government, to express their confidence in the Prime Minister and to vote for the draft budget. A government capable of acting should then be in place by the beginning of July.
As the prime minister said on Twitter, at Macron’s request, she would consult parliamentary groups next week to find out what level of cooperation they were willing to offer. At the end of next week, she will propose a roadmap and an effective government that is ready to face the challenges ahead.
Since Macron’s center camp did not achieve an absolute majority in last Sunday’s parliamentary elections, but only a simple majority, a government requires the support of other groups.
The largest opposition groups – the right-wing national Rassemblement National and the Left Party – have so far indicated little willingness to help Macron. A rapprochement seems conceivable with the bourgeois-conservative Républicains.
