Devoid of an absolute majority in the National Assembly, Emmanuel Macron sees the first 100 days of his second five-year term disrupted by opposition from the left and the far right. But he can count on the regular support of the Republicans.

Marine Le Pen presents herself as the leader of a wise but protesting opposition. When she gives her opinion on the first 100 days of Emmanuel Macron’s second term, she now does so from the National Assembly. “Nothing, zero, the bubble. Nothing has been driven by Emmanuel Macron in 100 days. It is almost astonishing, almost disconcerting, this total inertia of power“, she said.

With a relative majority, the coalition around the president must now form alliances to get his laws passed. Last example in date: the proposal of a tax on the super-profits of the multinationals, rejected narrowly thanks to the vote against the deputies Les Républicains. “That the government and its majority renounce, for a temporary commercial rebate, to tax super-profits is unacceptable for the people and portends legitimate anger in the fall.“, lamented Christine Pires Beaune, MP for PS, in the hemicycle.
