  • The gamble that French President Emmanuel Macron took when he called a snap election has not paid off, according to Armin Steinbach, professor at HEC Paris.

  • Macron failed to achieve the clarity on support for his government that he was looking for, Steinbach said.

  • Macron’s centrist bloc is set to have the second-biggest share of seats in French parliament following the election, behind the left-wing coalition but ahead of the far-right party.
