Cohabitation government begins in France archive, 1986
Briefly

The right-wing opposition in France has not won a clear majority in the National Assembly elections, leading to a period of uncertainty and political maneuvering.
President Mitterrand retains substantial flexibility in choosing the next prime minister, possibly a centrist or a member of his Socialist Party.
The elections marked a shift in political support, with the Communists losing ground, and the National Front gaining over 10% of the vote.
The call for unity post-election by opposition leader Jacques Chirac emphasizes the need for all French citizens, regardless of opinion, to collaborate for the country's renewal.
