first came the new popular front. is interesting to look at exactly how many members of the far left are within the new popular front. about 75 out of 180. we will see at the new popular front stays together. the leaders said we are ready to stay together and ready to implement the full program. we will see if that is the case or whether it splits and macron reaches out to the more moderate part of the left-wing. tom: what is important is the makeup of the new popular front. it is an unwieldy coalition. we will see if it holds. in terms of the business community of france, you have been speaking to them in the run-up to this crucial vote. what are we hearing from business leaders in france? >> generally for the last severing -- seven years, president macron has been holding a tight grip on france. there was a lot of uncertainty that this was the end of the era. we were looking at a new beginning, whatever it is. if you look at the new popular front, they are saying there measures could cost as much as 179 billion euro

new i emmanuel macron. that is the i question, now that the new front, the popular front has question, now that the new frontuestion, now that the new front, the popular front has had such a victory in keeping the far right at bay, what do they do next? this is the point where they have to come together and find some sort of deal, coordinate on what happens next, we were at the rally in stalingrad before, we are now in place de la republique. not all of them here backjean—luc melenchon�*s platform. back jean—luc melenchon�*s platform. the backjean—luc melenchon�*s platform. the socialist party, the greens, they will increase their seats as well, the socialist party in fact is likely to have a very close number of seats... how will they ensure they have a deal that allows them to govern cohesively? france is in some ways stepping into a big unknown here. they have to understand how they can find a long lasting solution. �* they can find a long lasting solution-— they can find a long lasting solution. �* ., , , , solution. and in that sense it is difficult to _ solution. and in that sense it is difficult to ch

the new popular front, which was hastily put together to beat back the searching for right in recent elections. i'm so happy that we have been able to be focus on the most impression, far as it just to preserve our country from this it already that have fights so many years ago. and we know how awful it can be, count, you know, and the values of our republic as being more than the anger and that the fear of the other end. i'm very proud of it. but the fond rights defeat is the only certainty this selection is produced. the listing alliance, the new popular front may have won the most number of seats in the french parliament or the assembly, and also not. but by no means do they have the absolute majority that is 289 seats . they simply don't have the numbers to govern their own. and that a deep divisions among the parties that make up this alliance about the wasteful. but one big reason for that disunity is this man, look middle shot. he hits the biggest spotty in the alliance, the radical lifting fronts and both parties. he's a polarizing finger revised by president mccall center sc

now they have become this new popular front in just a matter of weeks. it's a very interesting turn of events. let's look at just how they got there. >> ahead of the french parliamentary elections in 2022, a new left-wing alliance was formed by the radical left france unbowed. the new ecological and social popular union going by the french, brought together progressive forces, the socialists, greens, communists and france unbowed. it positioned itself as the main challenger to president emmanuel macron and has business-friendly policies. but the polarizing character and the party's policy differences, notably over the conflict in the middle east, triggered its de facto collapse. fast forward to 2024, confronted with the far-right's historic gains in the european elections, it took the left only four days to reach a similar agreement. the same four parties decided to join forces once again, this time running under the rebranded popular front. its aim is loud and clear, to stop the far-right national rally from coming into power and challenge the macron ce

this is the biggest party in the new popular front and middle show may be controversial, but the spot is usually popular, especially in kind of multicultural suburbs around big cities. we played a big role in blocking the far right in recent election. so the new popular friends says my crowd really has to respect the choice of waters and invite them to form a government which includes the fondest and how could the politically impossible pick frances ability to golf and especially with the games in a couple of weeks. it was today we saw a piece of my calls interest grouping or pointing 5 minutes to aton as the kind of a precedent of the parliamentary group. a copy of a ton of course is fading on his appointment is to indicate the capacity. the current cabinet is also staying on temper leave to kind of handle the dates of the affairs. but we really don't know how long this arrangement will be in place that have some speculation that govern government might have done this and i've written resignation next week. and then we have no idea what happens, like you said, uh the, the olympic gam

so the new popular front. let's clean the lions. unexpectedly coming all to on top and fronts is parliamentary the next, the centrist alliance of president monroe, and my call is in 2nd place, head of money, levin's fall rights, national and french crime. and it's doug with up to us, says he plans to offer his resignation. on monday, off the leading base interest, the lines to a 2nd place finish, fox, he added that he will carry out his functions as long as it is required. and that's it from me and the news team for now. coming up next to the w reports on a lesbian woman who moved from germany to how native turkey and no faces an increase in home, a phobia, got office in berlin from me and the whole new scene here expo, the, the untold story details going to be find it here repos every weekend on d. w can you see is what old car tires have to do with the production? here's a hands.

therefore, the current dialogues are very difficult and complicated between the new popular front andbetween the factions with each other for the front for france and for between. because his party represents the will of the french people and in fact the political opinions in relation to foreign and domestic issues which are contrary to macron's opinions, for example in relation to the issue of workers and health and in foreign matters also in relation to the war in ukraine, especially in relation to they disagree with each other with the gaza war, and melshon is still one of the supporters of palestine, for the recognition of palestine, and one of those who want to end it. the war is in the gaza strip. let me ask you a question in this regard. do you think this tendency of the majority of the french parliament to form an independent state of palestine is possible from the side of france's allies such as america or england? it has a very important dimension, which is against actually ending the war by holding demonstrations and recognizing the palestinian state. this is something that

the left party won the parliamentary elections to the national assembly new popular front.e will receive 182 mandates. in second place is the presidential coalition together for the republic. macron's deputies can take from 160 to 170 seats in the lower house, but despite the furor in the first round, the third place is occupied by the national association of jordan bardyl and guarantees itself only about 140 seats. thus , the elections led to the fact that none of the associations was able to overcome the threshold of 289 seats. this number is necessary to form an absolute majority in the national assembly. bakuninists and even new. popular front, they must be together, including the melonchonists, it is france that is resisting, without them there will be no one, no majority, that is the big problem, because there is a big difference between the socialists, like llon, the former president, his elections and and million, on big issues, not only domestic policy, economic policy, social policy. into negotiations with his party to make machinations and deals, especially after
