They keep saying leftists won, but it seems to be coalition with centrists?

Is this just Western media calling liberals leftists again or did France actually elect a real leftist government?

the left coalition got a plurality but nobody got a majority. the left coalition, centrist coalition, and fash coalition all got roughly similarly-sized blocks of seats.

so it's gonna be a gridlocked shitshow.

liberalism "we voted the fash out!"

The fash still hold a large chunk of seats

Ah, liberalism.

yeah keeping the fash out but not actually, y'know, putting someone else in is just going to lead to a series of crippling political crises

I wonder if fascists have ever capitalized on those before
