Although Le Pen receives eleven million votes, he considers himself a loser and accepts the new president. The National Front (FN) has announced profound changes to the movement, as well as the legislative vote of June, which legally foresees a “third round”. Le Pen says the FN will be the first opposition force to President Macron’s new era.
In Marche by Macron! The new party has a huge factory from now until June 11th. The social-liberal Macron will have to get a strong representative in the National Assembly if he is to carry out the reforms he has announced.
Through these reforms it seeks to harmonize the French tax and labour economy, while at the same time attuning to the political measures emanating from Europe. In its terms, it will make its first working trip to German Conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon announces that the France Insumiso movement will oppose the conservative and neoliberal policies that will come from Europe. It aims at the realization of social and ecological humanism.
Apparently, President Macron will have to complete the hypothetical Cohabitation or Cohabitation Government. To do this, it should reach agreements with the conservative Les Républicains (LR) party and the centrist MoFrog party.
The LR candidate, François Fillon, has not yet emerged from this election. There will be a lot of ups and downs in the LR over the next four weeks. By contrast, the former Minister of Education, François Bayrou, is perfectly placed in the formation of the Government.
In the first speech offered by the new president at the Louvre Museum’s esplanade, he said that he is aware of the division of the nation and that he will also consider the voters of both the FN and the other parties that have made him president. His key word is rassemblement.
Is it possible to bring together, on the left, on the right, the “rich” and the “poor” in the same project? Will Europe’s capitalist neoliberal policy reduce the rate of France’s three million unemployed?
