The questions are numerous in the aftermath of the second round of the legislative elections which offer an unprecedented National Assembly with the weakest relative majority in the history of the Fifth Republic.
Among the questions, that of the power of the deputies.
Does it come out stronger due to a broader opposition?
Or is the room for action still limited because political life is directed by the executive?
What avenues for more weight to deputies and thus try to reconnect the French with the National Assembly?
