French legislative elections 2022

Shortly after he was re-elected to a second term in April, French President Emmanuel Macron's Ensemble (Together) coalition lost its parliamentary majority in June elections amid gains by a new leftist coalition as well as the far right. The setback, which marks the first time in 20 years that a French president lost an absolute majority in parliament, has forced Macron to turn to coalition-building to salvage his ambitious domestic reform agenda.
