Leftist coalition wins election
Conservative oligarchs refuse to move an inch leftward and hands over power to right-wingers instead
A tale of selfish betrayal as old as time
Ah yes, an Ensemble-Republicains coalition with 38% of seats is totally a “majority” and will totally survive. This was totally better than the 65% majority coalition proposed by the NFP around Lucie Castets before Ensemble decided that they decided center-left was too extreme for them.
Macron is clearly running to Le Pen to save himself from getting impeached.
“This is now essentially a Macron-Le Pen government,” said Mr Mélenchon, referring to the leader of the far-right National Rally (RN).
How is Barnier representing Le Pen here?
I mean, if he said it was a Macron-Macron government or something, that at least I could understand.
Macron’s Ensemble Coalition plus Barnier’s Les Républicains don’t have a majority in the National Assembly. By choosing a prime minister from a right wing party one could argue that Macron hopes for the support from Le Pen’s far-right Rassemblement National with which he officially doesn’t want to cooperate, otherwise there could soon be a vote of no confidence and back to square one.
How else does Macron expect to get a majority behind Barnier? He already rejected a technocrat coalition with NFP. Macron is obviously expecting to get support from Le Pen in return for a cordon sanitaire on the socialists.
Jesus fucking Christ.
