Republican Monarchy

A French electoral cycle filled with surprises that has disrupted the institutional landscape for a long time. Following the presidential elections, there has been a rapid wave of enthusiasm for Macron, which has been rejected. The new president has developed an effective communication plan, selecting actions that could reflect the “greatness” of France and its authority. For a month, the media have praised all their statements, gestures and initiatives, highlighting Emmanuel Macron’s youth, novelty and bravery. An election campaign that is as cheap as it is successful.

The Members in favour of President Emmanuel Macron have had to sign a declaration of loyalty in order to obtain the support of their party. Under these conditions, it would be difficult for the National Assembly to exercise its counter-power function before the Executive

As a result, there has been a proliferation of votes in favour of the candidates of the presidential movement, regardless of who is present. Those of the other political forces, on the other hand, are limited or have been rapidly typified. At the same time, abstentions, blank votes and nulls have beaten all records, revealing the mistrust of voters. With 49% of the votes on the second round, only 18% of the electorate, Macron supporters have won 60% of the seats. They certainly have institutional legitimacy, but little social legitimacy. The opposition has once again gathered a blow, but, beyond the result, another current effect is taking place in the National Assembly. With the previous polarization of left and right, each party positioned itself without problems in the majority or in opposition to the government. With Macron’s centrist offer and the help of leftist and right-wing politicians who have convinced them to be part of the government, the internal contradictions and divisions of the closest political forces increase. The bloc of right-wing Members has broken out into two groups and the Socialists are going to follow political cohesion in the Basque Country with a great deal of work. In short, he had not only lost in the banquets, but also the Grand Duke the Grand Duke and his squad commander the Grand Duke and the Grand Duke. The two forces that have long articulated the political life of the Republic are in danger of extinction.

Meanwhile, most MEPs in favour of Macron are new faces, younger and more wives than men. They belong to the high-level social sector and represent “France that wins” more than the population. Each of them has had to sign a declaration of loyalty to its president in order to obtain the support of its party. Under these conditions, it would be difficult for the Assembly to exercise its counter-power function before the Executive. Some see it dangerously, as the street will stop at the top of the opposition. Precisely, the cut in the working code, demanded by the French Business Movement (MEDEF) this summer, according to the authors of the study in XXL format, which in 2016 promoted a rapid and anti-commercial social movement, aims to make it pass through ordinances, that is, without parliamentary filters. Young people, new, brave but always at the service of old policies.
