'Ungovernable': Papers react to bombshell result of French parliamentary elections

Description

IN THE PRESS – Monday, 20.06.2022: French papers look at the political bombshell for President Emmanuel Macron, whose centrist bloc emerged from Sunday's second round of the legislative elections well short of an absolute majority in parliament. Libération, the main left-wing daily, describes the results for his group as a "slap", while Le Parisien and Le Figaro headline that France is now "ungovernable". Macron will be unable to push on with his legislative agenda without significant opposition support.

SOUNDBITES OF JAVI LÓPEZ, CO-PRESIDENT OF THE EURO-LATIN AMERICAN PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY:"I think that nowadays the two biggest problems for the resolution of the trade agreement are first, French elections. French elections will determine any decision from the French government or the presidency. Secondly, the presidency of Bolsonaro.
