France’s left wins big, but paralysis in parliament looms
France is headed for a hung parliament after none of the political parties that contested Sunday’s parliamentary runoff vote managed to secure an outright majority — a situation that could put the country on a path for months of political gridlock.
Macron is weak both at home and abroad. He eventually pushed through a breakthrough reform without a vote.
Since the war against Ukraine, France has been on the edge of the European Union, according to an expert on French politics.
