The triumph of the far right and the failure of President Emmanuel Macron's bloc in the French legislative elections raise serious questions about the future French government's ability to adhere to a constructive EU policy.
The possibility of a minority government or 'cohabitation' involving Macron and a prime minister from another political tendency may cause concern among France's EU partners, especially Germany.
Past instances of 'cohabitation,' like between Mitterand and Chirac, showed conflicting views on international policies but eventually led to cooperation within the European Community to establish the single market.
Despite differing political views, previous cohabitations between rival political leaders did not result in significant conflicts, especially concerning EU matters.
