Part 3/15:
President Emmanuel Macron now faces the complex task of appointing a new prime minister or potentially calling for snap elections. His options are limited and fraught with difficulties, given the fractured state of French politics.

This fragmentation results in constant legislative deadlock, often referred to colloquially as “blockage,” symbolizing the stagnation that hampers effective governance.
