French President Emmanuel Macron lost control of the National Assembly in the legislative elections on Sunday, a big setback that could make the country a political paralysis unless he could negotiate the alliance with other parties.
The Macron Centrist Centrist Coalition, which wants to increase retirement age and deepen the integration of the EU, is on the path to end with the most seats in Sunday selection.
But they will be far from the absolute majority needed to control parliament, the results near the final show.
The extensive left wing alliance is determined to become the biggest opposition group, while the high-record-right-record-winning and conservative records tend to be the king’s maker.
Minister of Finance Bruno Le Maire called the results as “democratic surprises” and added that if other blocks do not work together, “this will block our capacity to reform and protect France.”
Hanging parliament will require a level of power distribution and compromise among inexperienced parties in France in recent decades.
There is no text set in France about how things will now be revealed. The last time a newly elected president failed to get a direct majority in the parliamentary election was in 1988.
The result is a risk for our country given the challenges that we must face,” said Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, adding that starting Monday, the Macron camp will work to find an alliance.
Macron can finally call the SNAP selection if the legislative traffic jams occur.
The Presidential Party KEFM is finished and there is no clear majority,” said hard veteran Jean-luc but the cheering supporters.
The release of the left wing mentions the results of “slap” for Macron, and the Echos Echos Economic Daily “Earthquake.”
Alliance?

Macron became in April the first French president in the two decades who won the second term, because the voters were united to keep the right out of power.
However, seen not connected by many voters, he led a country that was very disappointed and divided where support for the Populist parties on the right and left had jumped.
His ability to pursue further reform from the second largest economy of the Euro zone depends on winning support for its policies from moderate outside the alliance on the right and left.
Moderate?
Macron and its allies must now decide whether to look for an alliance with a conservative LES republic, which is in fourth, or run a minority government that must negotiate bills with other parties based on cases per case.
“There is a moderate on the bench, on the right, on the left. There is a moderate socialist and there are people on the right who, maybe, on the law, will be on our side, “said a spokesman for the Olivia Grogoire government.
The Republics LES platform is more compatible with ensembles than other parties. Both together have the opportunity for the majority of absolute in the final results, which requires at least 289 seats in the Low Assembly.
Christian Jacob, Head of Les Republicains, said his party would remain in opposition but “constructive”, showing a case agreement per case rather than a coalition pact.
Former Head of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, and Minister of Health Brigitte Bourguignon lost their seats, in two major defeats for the Macron camp.
