In reality, though, the risks of failure are high.<\/p>\n
Laurent Wauquiez, Les R\u00e9publicains\u2019 parliamentary leader, warned on Monday his party would not support a Socialist government that is too deeply inspired by other more radical left-wing parties with which they stood in last year\u2019s election, as part of a pan-leftist grouping called the New Popular Front. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe would never accept the nefarious political platform of the New Popular Front,\u201d said Wauquiez. \u201cAnd that obviously applies to any Socialist government that carries the ideas of the New Popular Front.\u201d <\/p>\n
Additionally, with local elections set for March 2026, no opposition parties will really want to ally themselves with a president surround by an aura of fin de r\u00e8gne. <\/p>\n
And even if the top brass in the centrist parties agreed to cooperate on a budget, there is no guarantee that rank-and-file lawmakers would follow.<\/p>\n
Take the Bayrou vote as an example: On Monday, Les R\u00e9publicains were conspicuously divided on the no-confidence vote, with 27 voting to support Bayrou and 13 against, despite calls from Les R\u00e9publicains\u2019 head and Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau to back the government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In reality, though, the risks of failure are high.
