Make no mistake, while the constitution of france provides dictatorial powers to the president in case of emergency (the 5th constitution was created by an army general), he can also be completely cucked by the national assembly (the equivalent of congress) In a couple of days now, there's another round of elections, it's called "the legislatives"; that's where people vote for who's going to be their congressmen essentially And macron is going to have to compose a government with a massive opposition, from left to right He's neither a "republican" ("les républicains") nor a "democrat" ("le parti socialiste"), his party is a new one he created for his presidential run Needless to mention that he's neither "far right" nor "far left" This election cycle, the socialist party which is the equivalent of dems got wrecked like never before, https://pic8.co/sh/X2kPHM.jpg They did 1.74% (pink) in the first round, absolute disaster, and the "les républicains" (equivalent of reps) did slightly better; 4.79% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT13kk8HDDo Far left (red) did slightly less than lepen So a big far left and a big far right, that's the pool he's going to have to compose with. And they'll forward candidates, and he'll have to pick his ministers in that pool, prime minister included... That's how it works lol So yeah, good luck with that... That being said, the role of the french president is to deal with international affairs (ukraine) prime minister deals with internal affairs So, you get the idea Now what will french vote for the legislatives? Their as usual candidate, which often doesn't match what party they voted for during the presidential election, or a guy from the party they voted for during the said election? Hard to tell, but one thing remains consistent; once a french voter votes marine lepen, he never goes back, he never votes for anything else afterward, it's a constant, since decades, which isn't true for the rest of the parties
