PARIS, June 28 ― France's lower house of parliament reopens today after an election upset for President Emmanuel Macron whose centrist allies are little closer to building a stable majority, putting Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne's job potentially on the line.
Republicans group seen as most compatible with Macron, said that “we have much better things to do today than selling ourselves piecemeal”.But he added that his MPs would “do everything we can to reach an agreement with the government” on an upcoming draft law to boost households' purchasing power in the face of food and energy inflation.
Pro-Macron candidate Yael Braun-Pivet is expected to be the first woman in French history to claim the speaker's chair in a series of votes Tuesday. Led by Macron's defeated presidential opponent Marine Le Pen, the RN would usually have a claim on the post as the largest single opposition party. Macron told AFP at the weekend that he had “decided to confirm confidence in Elisabeth Borne” and asked her to continue talks to find either allies for the government in parliament or at least backing for crucial confidence and budget votes.
“In all other European countries, when they're in talks to form a government, it can take months” rather than the days Macron has allowed, political scientist Lazar said.
