Macron Loses Majority
Play

Emmanuel Macron will be forced to negotiate alliances with other parties, after the French President lost his majority in the National Assembly on the weekend to a new leftist coalition and a historic far right surge.
Macron had been comfortably re-elected for a second term just eight week ago, making him the first president in two decades to win re-election.
Macron’s centrist coalition wants to raise the retirement age and deepen EU integration. This differs from the Far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party, who won a significant amount of the seats available.
