Without an absolute majority in the National Assembly, without a coalition and without the possibility of dissolving it immediately, Emmanuel Macron will have to resolve to “resignation”according to Louis Aliot. “If there is no majority, if it is ungovernable, after a few months”Emmanuel Macron “will be forced to draw the consequences”underlines the first vice-president of the National Rally (RN) and mayor of Perpignan, Wednesday July 3 on franceinfo. The Constitution provides that“no new dissolution may be carried out within the following year” early legislative elections.
The former presidential candidate of the far-right party is drawing on his experience as “Lawyer” and of “constitutionalist”. “I know all the discussions that have taken place on cohabitation for 40 years now. All the lawyers will tell you that at a given moment, if this cohabitation is not possible and if there is no majority that makes a stable government, it is up to the president to ask himself the question” of his continued power.
For Louis Aliot, a coalition with deputies from the New Popular Front, the presidential camp and the non-Ciottist Republicans, to counter the RN, is a pipe dream. “Obviously, it would be ungovernable. First of all, they don’t get along with each other on the left. So can you imagine?”he mocks.
