Coalition on the Left Unexpectedly Wins Most Parliamentary Seats in France | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly won the most parliamentary seats in the final round of France's elections. On Sunday, supporters took to the streets to celebrate. Despite the celebrations, there is no majority in place. President Macron's centrist alliance is behind the left-wing coalition. Right-wing candidates are in third after drastically increasing their seats in parliament. The results are the opposite of the moment of clarification that led President Emmanuel Macron to call the snap election last month. Director of Carnegie Europe, Rosa Balfour, joins to share whether President Macron's call last month for these snap elections has backfired. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal offered his resignation this morning but has reportedly been asked to remain in his post for now. Balfour discusses why this is important. With no political faction, even close to a majority to form a government, Balfour tells us what happens next in France. She also explains what led to the protests in Paris on Sunday night and whether we could see more of this in France. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
