Editorial: Le Monde

• The French massively rejected the far right in the elections, but also did not offer clear support to the other political forces.
• France has settled into quadripartition, which complicates the formation of a clear majority in government.
• Due to the lack of a clear majority, parties are forced to seek alliances beyond their own side.
• This political scenario is a result of the President's decision to dissolve the National Assembly on June 9.
• All political sides dream of more autonomous conditions, or even of a revenage.
• Political stability and management of key voters' concerns about purchasing power, public services and security are vital.

Conclusion: The country, vulnerable on a budgetary level, cannot afford the luxury of immobility or instability. A shift in political culture to encourage cooperation and compromise among political forces is necessary.
