From last night o Emmanuel Macron is the third president to be re-elected for a fifth French Republicthat is, for sixty years, (the other two were Mitterrand and Chirac), but also the only one who is re-elected without having lost the parliamentary elections during his first term and having been forced into what in France is called “cohabitation”. The question that dominates today in Francein view of the parliamentary elections in June, is whether he will manage in his second term to avoid cohabitation.
For the time being, however, and while consultations within the parties that lost the presidential election are erupting, the French President has retired to state villa of the presidents of the French Republic, in front of a lake in Versailles, where, as his associates report, he is resting and thinking. For this week, there does not seem to be any question of reshuffling the existing government, which he has appointed. That is likely to happen in early May, shortly before he takes office for another five years. In the near future, however, it is considered certain that he will travel to Berlin and that, as five years ago, he will visit a military hospital and his mother’s grave.
In the meantime intra-party consultations in Paris give and take with the main object of the political agreements that could be reached in view of the parliamentary elections in June. In the context of the far right, they are examining whether and to what extent it is possible for the parties of Marin Le Pen and Eric Zemour to appear with a joint ballot. At the moment, this seems impossible, especially after yesterday’s “nail” of Zemour that for 50 years the Lepen have been losing the elections. On the other hand, in the area of ​​the left, the consultations for a joint descent of the Ecologists and the Communist Party with the “Unruly France” of Jean-Luc Melanson are intensifying. Here the chances of reaching an agreement appear more, but as the French often say “the devil is hidden in the details”.
Emanuel Macron will probably wait for the outcome of these consultations and then decide on the form and content of his campaign in the run-up to the parliamentary elections.
If he allies with center-right parties, he will secure a majority in the parliamentary elections, today’s poll revealed
