Ensemble

"Ensemble" is the name of the French presidential parliamentary group. It is currently newsworthy due to its support of a controversial proposed law allowing some employees to work on May 1st, a traditional holiday. This proposal, initially put forth by the Républicains party, has been adopted by "Ensemble" and is being debated in the National Assembly. The government supports the measure, but it is expected to face strong opposition. Separately, the Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, is experiencing low public confidence, with only 24% of French citizens trusting him to solve the country's problems. This adds to the political context in which "Ensemble" operates, potentially impacting its ability to effectively advance its legislative agenda.
