German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he was relieved after the results of the French parliamentary elections were announced. His words provide guidance Reuters.
“If the French president were to enter into a coalition with a right-wing populist party, that would pose a serious challenge,” Scholz said.
He expressed hope that Emmanuel Macron and the elected representatives “will succeed in forming a constructive government.”
In the second round of early parliamentary elections in France, the left-wing coalition “New Popular Front” won. Emmanuel Macron’s “Together!” bloc came in second, while Marine Le Pen of the right-wing National Rally came only third.
No party has an absolute majority in the National Assembly, the country’s lower house of parliament, making it difficult to form a new government. Riots have traditionally broken out in major French cities after preliminary results were announced. More details in the material “Newspapers.Ru”.
