What happens if the French government falls?

The article discusses the potential consequences if the French government were to fall, particularly in light of the upcoming parliamentary elections. If no party secures an absolute majority, France could face a hung parliament, leading to political instability. This scenario could result in President Emmanuel Macron appointing a prime minister from the largest party or coalition, potentially leading to a "cohabitation" government where the president and prime minister are from different political sides, causing friction in policy implementation. If no stable government can be formed, France might see a series of short-lived governments or even new elections. This instability could delay or alter key policy decisions, affect France's role in the EU, and impact economic stability, especially with ongoing issues like pension reform, economic recovery post-COVID, and responses to international crises.
