Following the second round of the parliamentary elections, French President Emmanuel Macron received a record support level over the past half-century. What is the phenomenon of the current leader of the Fifth Republic and his party "Forward, the Republic", created quite recently and literally "on his knee", experts.

First of all, it should be noted that the Macro party it originated and began to act in the situation of a serious political vacuum. The old parties were in deep decline: the center-rightists are divided and have problems with the definition of common goals, the socialists have never been able to explain to themselves and the voters what power they are and what they want. Apparently, the "Socialist Party" in general left the political scene. Her turn to the left on the eve of the presidential elections led to the fact that a significant moderate wing broke away from the party, which provided massive support to Macron.

"It is important that" Forward, the Republic "was able to create for itself an attractive image of a new political force coming with a policy update program," candidate of historical sciences, expert of the Center for Crisis Society Studies Alexander Vershinin explained "Utro". - New people and new slogans played their part. Well and the factor of the president: Makron has received the big support of a society and actually has shared it with party. His achievements and in the future will add to her popularity. At the same time, the president's defeats will be seriously beaten by the party, "the expert believes..

According to the results of the elections on Sunday, June 18, members of the presidential party "Forward, the Republic" will receive 308 out of 577 seats in the French parliament. We can say that in this situation, Makron received all the power that he needed to carry out an independent policy.

"Without a parliamentary majority, it would turn into a lame duck," says Alexander Vershinin. - The real power in this situation would be in the hands of the Prime Minister. The situation would arise. Coexistence, which, under the current state of affairs, did not bode well for France. Now Macron can act confidently, "the expert points out..

After the almost absolute power in the hands of the French president, the most important issue is how the new head of state will dispose of it. A number of painful reforms are on the agenda, including the most important - labor market reform.

"The government of Macron will try to somehow solve the problem of unemployment by changing the conditions of hiring workers and the status of the unemployed," says Vershinin. - The French will have to adapt to the new conditions, but they are not ready for this. President is facing a sharp clinch with powerful French unions. To enter this struggle is possible only having a strong rear in the parliament ".

As for Russian-French relations, for them, as well as the foreign policy of France as a whole, parliamentary elections are not of great importance. "She is the sphere of responsibility of the president, who has already outlined his priorities," says the expert.. - The key topic now is the internal policy. Here, after the victory on June 18, Macron and his ministers will move to the main work on reforming the French social and economic sphere ".

The second round of elections to the National Assembly of France took place on Sunday, June 18.
