YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Emmanuel Macron made history in the French legislative elections on Sunday, just not in the way he hoped.
The 44-year-old centrist became the first president in decades to fail to garner an absolute majority in parliament, falling short of the 289-seat threshold. His alliance, however, will still remain the largest bloc.
That means that while Macron may be able to keep control of the executive branch, he will have a hard time passing legislation, putting much of his agenda in peril -- including plans to increase the retirement age and deliver tax reforms.
