The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The victory of the leaderless leftist alliance in the snap parliamentary election has surprised even its four founding parties, and now their coalition is on the brink of falling apart because its members cannot agree on a prime ministerial candidate. It's likely that the Socialist Party would soon breakaway from its radical allies and join a mainstream coalition.

Politico

Left narrative

That Macron and his centrist allies are still in denial doesn't affect the fact that the French people have given a clear mandate to the leftist NFP. Therefore, his moves to deny the largest alliance its chance to form a new government and grab power through covert plots indicate his undemocratic disregard for the popular vote.

Jacobin

Right narrative

Though the left has secured most seats in the National Assembly and Macron remains in power, France is on the right — as proven by the number of votes. If history can teach us anything, all this political chaos the country is experiencing right now indicates that a new dawn is coming — one in which the right will be the only possible opposition.
