The new election in France

France continued in uncertainty after the presidential election

Yaël Braun-Pivet has been re-elected as Speaker of the National Assembly. But if her election leaves the possibility for a coalition in parliament is still unclear, writes France Info.

"The equation for forming a government is still far from solved," the site writes.

Voting continues on Friday and Saturday where other key posts and committees will be distributed. It remains to be seen how the National Assembly's new political direction will take shape.

Macron's candidate wins the presidential election in France

Incumbent Speaker Yaël Braun-Pivet has been re-elected after a protracted and even vote in the French Parliament this evening. This is reported by the French media.

Yaël Braun-Pivet belongs to President Emmanuel Macron's party. The fact that she was able to win despite the left-wing bloc New People's Front winning the election is described as a defeat for the left.

In the third and final round, Yaël Braun-Pivet received 220 votes while the communist André Chassaigne received 207. National Assembly candidate Sébastien Chenu received 141 votes.

Expert: It is likely that Macron will be appointed prime minister

Much is now being said that a politician from Emmanuel Macron's center camp will become France's next prime minister. That's what Matthieu Hocque, political analyst at the Millénaire think tank, says after Macron candidate Yael Braun-Pivet won the evening's presidential vote.

- In the modern history of France, the Speaker has always belonged to the same camp as the Prime Minister. It would be historic if that were not the case, he tells Politico.

Braun-Pivet won through the merger of Emmanuel Macron's liberal Renaissance party and the bourgeois Republicans.

Politico describes it as a "shock vote". In the past it looked like months or even years of "political paralysis" were in store, but now there still seems to be a narrow way out of the deadlock.
