A survey conducted in France by the independent public opinion institute Odoxa-Backbone showed that the majority of French people oppose the French government, made up of representatives of the New Popular Front (NFP), writes the French magazine Valeurs actuelles on July 11.
The victory in the second round of parliamentary elections to the lower house of the French parliament, according to representatives of the NFP, indicated that they had the right to form a new government only from representatives of the alliance of left-wing forces. Therefore, as noted by the leader of France Invicta (LFI), Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the time has come for French President Emmanuel Macron to resign and appoint a prime minister from a coalition of left-wing forces. But at the same time, according to a survey by Odoxa-Backbone, 73% of French respondents rejected the idea of forming a government from representatives of the new popular front.
The opposite view was held by Macron, who noted that there were actually no winners in the election, as “nobody beat anybody”. This is confirmed by the election results, as the publication notes. After all, three separate blocs were formed in the French National Assembly, which in turn did not have an absolute majority of votes from deputies, which made it possible to form a government without the participation of representatives of other political parties. In such a situation, from the point of view of half of the respondents, the best option was the creation of a coalition government.
They presented several options for such a government. In first place was the alliance between the presidential camp and the left without LFI (43%), as well as the alliance between the Macron camp and the Republicans. The most surprising thing was that the idea of excluding “unconquered France” from such a government appealed to 69% of PS supporters and 75% of environmentalists.
Raphael Glucksmann, a representative of the Socialists, was nominated for the post of Prime Minister of France with the highest approval rating: 34% of the votes. He was clearly ahead of Jean-Luc Mélenchon with 15% of the votes for his candidacy.
