On Sunday 19 June 2022, France held elections for a new parliament. The result is remarkable in two respects in particular. Firstly, only just over 40 per cent of French people went to the polls and cast a vote. This means that not even half of the people in France still have confidence in parliament and have realised that no bourgeois party meets their interests. Secondly, President Emmanuel Macron's party lost its absolute majority in parliament. His party "En Marche", together with the electoral alliance "Ensemble", received only 245 seats in the election, which corresponds to a good 38 percent.
