Without an absolute majority in the Palais Bourbon, to successfully govern, Emmanuel Macron will have to lean to the right or the left to pass laws.
In his televised address, which comes two days after his consultations with the leaders of the political forces present in the National Assembly, Emmanuel Macron mentioned two possible options: a “construction of a majority, text by text” or a “coalition contract.”
“We must learn to govern and legislate differently” is the enigmatic phrase he used to conclude his address.
Another unknown: the participation of deputies. In the previous legislature that has just ended, according to the National Assembly’s website “DataAN”, out of 4417 votes, the average participation rate was only 18%…
With strongly mobilized opposition against his policies, particularly from Nupes and RN, Emmanuel Macron is likely to face significant difficulties in passing his legislative projects.
Especially since the President still finds himself in a position of weakness in the Senate where, despite significant losses in the legislative elections, the Republicans still have the largest group, with 146 senators out of 348.
