Macron has cycled through several prime ministers in the past three years, and the public is blaming him for the instability.
Amid so much uncertainty, one thing remains clear: the next government is likely to be short-lived.
The latest surprise results have seen a left-wing coalition take the lead, but no party will be able to form a parliamentary majority.
Os partidos de esquerda e de centro agora tentarão se unir em torno dos candidatos uns dos outros para impedir que o extremista Reagrupamento Nacional obtenha uma maioria absoluta no parlamento
Leftist and centrist parties will now try to coalesce behind each other’s candidates in order to prevent National Rally from securing an outright majority in parliament.
Whatever the outcome, the next government will likely be even weaker than the current one, precisely the situation President Emmanuel Macron had hoped to rectify.
Longtemps méprisés et opprimés sur leurs terres ancestrales, les Aborigènes vont peut-être obtenir au Parlement australien une instance expressément consacrée à l’amélioration de leur sort.

The French submarine deal offered Australia a way to diversify its international partners beyond its traditional allies, the US and UK. Now, this relationship is in tatters.
The French celebrate Quatorze Juillet, not Bastille Day. In fact, the English-language name hides much of the surprisingly complex history of the day.
The prime minister calls it “our most sacred day”, but numbers at Anzac Day dawn services fell by 70% from 2015-2019.
Since the end of the first world war, the Australian media has often reported that ‘the French’ care about, remember and even venerate the Anzacs. But is this true? And which French people?
