In his first comments since the snap elections, French President Emmanuel Macron has claimed that 'no one won' the vote and has urged political parties to join forces to form a 'solid majority' https://on.ft.com/3xPuzCA
A solid majority to do what exactly? The three largest parties in the National Assembly are diametrically opposed to each other on almost every issue. About the only thing there is votes for are lowering the retirement age, maintaining aid to Ukraine, and maintaining nuclear power. All of those things have the added complexity of being supported by a majority of different parties not a single group of parties capable of forming a governing coalition off of shared interests.
It seems that he is a French president who has received the most slaps in the face in history.
Great insight, Financial Times. Building a solid majority through collaboration is crucial for a strong political landscape. Thank you for sharing this update.
Banksters puppet has election fixed, for himself 👹.
opinion : It’s nice to see policy makers get back to basics on a game of chess and play smart to prioritise policy making and core foundational principles of a nation.President Emmanuel Macron has done just that it seems with his queen’s gambit.Smart and putting policy front and center.
Can we imagine/envision if we Americans could learn how to do this from FRANCE, who helped us beat the ENGLISH during the revolutionary war? Instead of MAGA Republicans behaving like Robespierre’s Reign of Terror on January 6th, 2021, and Democrats denying reality since at least 2012? 🇺🇸🗽🤨🧐
What a bizarre formulation. The RN increased their seats from 8 to 143, but indeed there was a coalition from June formed just to look bigger. But seems like he doesn't want to look like he wants to work with them. So really it's just a message to say he has no responsibility for anything.
Hung parliament, gotta love how interesting things will be with this set up. The theatrics and manoeuvres will be quite the spectacle.

3wLet’s face it - the RN has only lost due to a tactical (and quite unnatural) dealmaking between centrist (Macron’s camp) and far-left opponents, who pulled more than 200 candidates from three-way races to avoid splitting the anti-RN vote. What does it have to do with democracy that is respecting the people’s will? It is more tinkering with democracy rather than respecting it. Now, he has three major camps (far-left, his camp and the RN) and would like to build a coalition but without the RN and obviously with only the more moderate components of the far-left gloop. I am really curious to see how it unfolds. 🙂
