France is possessing a parliamentary copy election on Sunday, which will control the country’s political baseline for the next 5 years. The far-right National Rally (RN) party, led by Marine Le Pen, is expected to win the most votes but may not win a majority. This could result in a hung parliament, making it impossible for President Emmanuel Macron to pass law-making and preferably leading to a “cohabitation” government where the president and prime minister are from different parties.
The RN party has made historic profits in recent years, capitalizing on voter anger towards Macron and worries about displacement and the economy. Le Pen has put up collateral to reduce migration of people, loosen legislation to expel illegal migrants, and tighten rules around family reassembly. Her party’s conquest has raised concerns among France’s immigrant and minority communities, who see the RN as anti-immigrant and anti-Islam.
“France is on the cliff edge and we don’t know if we’re going to jump,” he told France Inter radio last week.
The election consequence will have significant implications for France and the European Union. An RN majority would allow Le Pen to implement her policies, which could lead to an event in France’s position on European combination and immigration. A hung parliament, on the other hand, could lead to policy paralysis and difficulty in passing legislation.
The election has also raised queries about the future of President Macron’s presidency, which has been mentioned by controversy and conflicts in recent years. Whatever the results, Macron’s political agenda appears to be dead, and his ability to pass legislation will be reduced.
Overall, the French parliamentary election is a sensitive moment in the country’s political history, with implications for the future of the EU, immigration, and the country’s political baseline.
