Majority of French people do not want Macron's party to have majority in parliament elections: Opinion poll
Story highlights
The poll shows that almost 69 per cent of working-class voters are in opposition to Macron's La République En Marche (LREM) party
An Elabe opinion poll on Wednesday (April 27) said that a majority of French people do not want President Emmanuel Macron's party to have a majority in parliament elections.
The poll shows that almost 69 per cent of working-class voters are in opposition to Macron's La République En Marche (LREM) party.
Macron will be forced to make a coalition agreement with other parties if LREM and its Modem party ally do not win a majority.
This will lock or water down many of the reforms that Macron wants to push through as per far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon.
