Abstract:

President Emmanuel Macron's party, La République en Marche (LREM), has been defeated in the second round of French local elections, held on 28 June. The ruling party's score was weakened by record abstention, its unclear ideology, internal conflicts, and unfortunate choice of top candidates. Macron's government will continue cooperation with independent local elites, although it will be even more difficult given the relative success of the Left and Greens. While the success of such cooperation could increase the legitimacy of the government's policies, much more probable is controversy between the government and local leaders, which will result in enhanced competences for the central power.
