In his first public statement[/B] after his landslide victory in the French parliamentary elections, Emmanuel Macron acknowledged the divisions that dominate the country, noting that the solution from now on is to change the way "we govern and legislate". The French president said that a government of national unity cannot be formed, but that there is room to form majorities.
He said that all the party leaders he spoke to expressed the will to avoid political deadlock.
However, for this eventuality, he said no more or less that the decision rests with the opposition parties, which must decide in the coming weeks. "I have confidence that everyone will act in accordance with their sense of duty to the country," he added.
Emmanuel Macron called on opposition parties to "learn to govern and legislate differently" in response to the "rifts" revealed by the parliamentary elections. "No political force today can legislate alone. The presidential majority is indeed relative," the head of state acknowledged during his televised address.
"Do we participate in a coalition of government and action? Are you committed to simply passing certain bills? Our budget? Which ones? It is now up to the political groups in the National Assembly to state in total transparency how far they are willing to go," Macron added.
