French Political Crisis: Macron Caught Between Extreme Right and Left

Reported 12 months ago

On July 1, 2024, in the first round of voting in the French parliamentary elections, the far-right National Rally surged to first place, potentially dealing a blow to President Macron's Renaissance Party. If the National Rally gains an absolute majority in the second round, Macron may have to appoint their leader, Badra, as prime minister, leading to potential constitutional crises as their opinions on issues like aid to Ukraine differ. Even if the National Rally doesn't secure a majority, Macron will face attacks from both the extreme right and left in parliament, hindering his legislative agenda. With uncertainties looming, a political deadlock might be in store for France.
