Is a political crisis inevitable?

Guest of the 23h of franceinfo, Jérémie Sainte-Marie, pollster and political scientist, believes that “for once, we can seriously talk about a political crisis“, if only because it upsets the institutions, and has “no obvious solution”. On the comparison with the coalitions regularly formed in neighboring European countries, in particular Germany, he considers that the situations are very different: in France, there are no proportional elections and the Head of State intervenes a great deal in political life.

“We built ourselves as a partisan system, differently, the rules of the game are different and, quite simply, the constitution is different“, insisted Jérémie Sainte-Marie. It also seems difficult, in his eyes, to form a coalition without betraying the voters. There would not be sufficient convergence of ideas today. The “macron-compatible” deputies “would have already joined its ranks.”On the left have therefore remained today, including in the Socialist Party, people who were ready to ally themselves with Jean-Luc Mélenchon for a radical opposition to Emmanuel Macron.“, he assures.
