Analysts argue that Macron's decision to appoint Michel Barnier, a conservative, as prime minister despite the left's electoral win has inadvertently given greater credibility to the far-right National Rally.
This choice has angered many voters on the left, who feel betrayed, as it goes against the narrative that the left actually won the legislative elections, despite not being able to command a majority.
According to political experts, Macron's need to compromise reflects the fragmented political landscape since no party or coalition secured a clear majority, forcing the president to make this difficult choice.
Philippe Marliere emphasized that Macron’s choice of a conservative PM is a reflection of the electoral failure of his own party and underlines the nature of political compromise in a divided assembly.
