Monday, June 13, according to various estimates, after the first round of legislative elections, the movement of the President of the Republic may well not obtain an absolute majority in the National Assembly. A worrying situation for the Head of State.
Before the second round of the legislative elections, which will take place on Sunday June 19, the President of the Republic is not sure that his movement Together! can obtain an absolute majority in the National Assembly. This is a situation that has already happened since in 1988, Michel Rocard had not been able to obtain an absolute majority. For Elisabeth Borne, it remains attainable. “Our country needs a strong and clear majority”says the Prime Minister.
If the majority were to be relative, two concrete solutions exist. The first would be to use section 49.3 repeatedly to force laws through. VSIt was this solution that Michel Rocard favored in 1988, when he found himself in a similar situation. The government could also seek deputies from Les Républicains or on the left to vote for measures they wish to apply. Christian Jacob, president of the Republicans, does not completely refuse this option, for the moment.
