France: Marine Le Pen from 8 to 89 seats in the National Assembly

Marine Le Pen advances, advances the left. Back off Emmanuel Macron. Ensemble, the formation of the French president, did not get a majority in parliament in the second round of legislative elections. There are 246 seats for the formation of the president. To govern autonomously, 289 were needed. Now he will have to seek allies. 142 parliamentarians elected by the left of Jean-Luc Melenchonbut above all it goes from 8 to 89 the Rassemblement national from Marine Le Pen.

The fall of the president’s party was immediately clear from the exit polls released at 8pm on Sunday evening. After the first three formations there are the former Gaullists of Les Republicains with 61 seats and three UDI. The abstention rate reached 53.77%, according to the interior ministry. In the first round there seemed to be a head-to-head between the incumbent president and Nupesthe new formation that brings together the radical left, ecologists and socialists: just 21400 vines of difference between Macron’s 25.75, Melenchon’s 25.66.

The data shows a country that is difficult to govern from here on out. New Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne spoke of “Unprecedented situation” and “risk for the country”. The Elysée has already said it is ready to seek alliances. “On our part there is a hand extended to all those who want to keep the country going,” said the government spokeswoman, Olivia Gregoire.

Certainly Macron will not be able to ally himself with the left who have an opposite program with the hypothesis of the exit of Paris from NATO and the opposition to nuclear power. Jean-Luc Melenchon spoke of «electoral failure for the Macronia“. An agreement with the Republicains is more conceivable even if for now they say they want to remain in the opposition. Marine Le Pen has already announced a “firm but responsible opposition”.
