I agree with your analysis Eduardo. French politicians will have to learn how to work together in a coalition government. They used to until De Gaulle put an end to the chienlit 70 years ago and created the Fifth Republic. One can expect that Macron will not have an easy time for the rest of his mandate with the Assemblée Nationale, including the elected members of his own party. He can probably find some solace in a fire chat with Biden…
Shock to the system is an understatement. Thanks for explaining it. I was scratching my head wondering if I missed something. In one short week the right and then —the what? The left? They joined—? Next stop, Biden—? This must surely be 2024’s version of a Midsummer’s Night Dream.
