'Ungovernable': Papers react to bombshell result of French legislative elections • FRANCE 24

IN THE PRESS – Monday, 20.06.2022: French papers look at the political bombshell for President Emmanuel Macron, whose centrist bloc emerged from Sunday's second round of the legislative elections well short of an absolute majority in parliament. Libération, the main left-wing daily, describes the results for his group as a "slap", while Le Parisien and Le Figaro headline that France is now "ungovernable". Macron will be unable to push on with his legislative agenda without significant opposition support.

it's not a bombshell result at all. Polls correctly predicted such result.

It Macron this could still be an opportunity to play out several "opponents" and win over factions of both LR and NUPES thus fractioning the so-called blocs. Throw them a bone and the blocs will disintegrate.

I mean historically "France is Ungovernable" is just every other year in France so IDK what all the fuss is about.

See, the only reason that MarinLePen lost the French election was for being involved monetarily with Russia, Vladimir Putin. Which I advised her not to do. Congratulations I'a Assembl'ee nationale, VivaLaFrance🇫🇷!

“plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose “ France is ungovernable, but has it ever been. Reforms have never been possible Chirac tried to but failed.

Hajahahahahafknha, a rudderless ship. This will be an interesting and hopefully a strike for freedom from a diktaker.

What is the big deal. In my country the last two presidents didn t have a majority. Also one of them had to deal with the oposite party government so stop wining for macron

President Macron will run a better Goverment by inclusion and make better EU decisions.
