As the final round of the French parliamentary election is underway, the far-right National Rally (RN) is poised to become the largest party, challenging President Macron and the Fifth Republic's constitutional system with a potential co-governance scenario. The possibility of a cohabitation situation arises, with the RN indicating their willingness to form a government if narrowly missing a majority, posing a direct challenge to Macron's foreign and defense policies. Additionally, the unprecedented idea of a cross-party 'super grand coalition' government to prevent the National Rally's rise presents its own set of challenges, with ideological differences among the parties complicating potential governance. The looming constitutional crisis may escalate as Macron's patience wears thin, impacting the formation of a new government and the budgetary process.
