the absence of an absolute majority “is not a tragedy” according to Dominique Rousseau

Guest on the set of 23h of Franceinfo Thursday, June 23, Dominique Rousseau, professor of constitutional law and former member of the council of the judiciary, returns to the results of the legislative elections and the absence of an absolute majority in the National Assembly. “It’s not a tragedy. In all the other European countries, in Parliament, there is no absolute majority. And the ​Constitution of 1958 was precisely drafted in the assumption that there is no absolute majority. I remind you that from 1958 to 1962, there was no absolute majority in Parliament.he points out.

Dominique Rousseau also analyzes Emmanuel Macron’s speech on Wednesday June 22. The former member of the judicial council believes that the head of state “is in the normal game of all parliamentary democracies where the President of the Republic, after the results of an election where there is no absolute majority, invites the leader of the most important group, so today c is Together, to constitute a government and to see if with other groups there is a possible coalition, German hypothesis, or, if there is no coalition, if there are majorities in function texts. This is quite simply what the President of the Republic said, he did not issue an ultimatum”he says.
