Macron Loses Majority in French Legislative Elections

Establishment-critical narrative

This is a blow for Macron, who now has to face a "parliamentary guerrilla" of the EU- and NATO-skeptic NUPES alliance, not to mention the far-right RN. But it may be a blessing for France, as Macron now has no choice but to engage more directly with people's concerns and practice the art of compromise. The end result will be a stronger, more united country.
