While polls were expecting French president Macron to get close to a majority in the new parliament, with Le Pen's far-right party collecting about 35 lawmakers, this has been a terrible surprise for many: the presidential party is not even close to any majority with only 249 seats and the far-right is welcoming 90 lawmakers.

The parliament seems completely blocked as there is no other party willing to join the Macron's troupes and such a minority government seems unlikely to be able to do anything. The left parties have recovered from their scores 5 years ago and are now the main opposition alliance in the Assembly with about 160 seats.
