Ah yes, an Ensemble-Republicains coalition with 38% of seats is totally a "majority" and will totally survive. This was totally better than the 65% majority coalition proposed by the NFP around Lucie Castets before Ensemble decided that they decided center-left was too extreme for them.

Macron is clearly running to Le Pen to save himself from getting impeached.

Just liberals siding with fascists over leftists like they always do.

"This is now essentially a Macron-Le Pen government," said Mr Mélenchon, referring to the leader of the far-right National Rally (RN).

How is Barnier representing Le Pen here?

I mean, if he said it was a Macron-Macron government or something, that at least I could understand.

Macron's Ensemble Coalition plus Barnier's Les Républicains don't have a majority in the National Assembly. By choosing a prime minister from a right wing party one could argue that Macron hopes for the support from Le Pen's far-right Rassemblement National with which he officially doesn't want to cooperate, otherwise there could soon be a vote of no confidence and back to square one.

The parties in the NFP already said that they'll initiate a motion of no confidence for Barnier.

How else does Macron expect to get a majority behind Barnier? He already rejected a technocrat coalition with NFP. Macron is obviously expecting to get support from Le Pen in return for a cordon sanitaire on the socialists.
