President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance Party has faced defeat in the results of the parliamentary elections held in France on Sunday. The Home Ministry released the figures on Monday and said that out of a total of 577 seats, the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) alliance got 182 seats. The Renaissance Party was in second place. It got 163 seats. At the same time, the right-wing National Rally (NR) alliance managed to get 143 seats.
For a majority in the National Assembly, any party needs to win 289 seats. In such a situation, no party has a majority now. Experts have predicted that now the parties will try to get a majority with the help of alliances.
Taking responsibility for the defeat, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said on Sunday that he would submit his resignation to President Macron on Monday. Apart from this, he will remain the Prime Minister until a new Prime Minister is appointed.
Violence broke out after the initial results in the parliamentary elections. People of the right-wing National Rally (NR) came on the streets and started protesting. During this, the police fired tear gas shells at people in central Paris, in which many people were injured.
In fact, before this, elections were held on 30 June. In this, the right-wing party National Rally (NR) got the highest 35.15% votes, after which it was estimated that the party could get 230-280 seats, but the opposite happened in today’s results.
The term of the French Parliament was to end in 2027, but due to a big defeat in the European Union, President Macron dissolved the Parliament ahead of time this month. Actually, the Macron government was running with the help of a coalition. His coalition had only 250 seats and every time he had to gather support from other parties to pass the law.
Now even after the defeat on Sunday, Macron will have to gather support from other parties for any new bill.
