Il presidente della Quinta repubblica alla prova del macronismo

Abstract

The president of the Fifth republic to the test of macronism - The contribution aims to investigate the evolution of majority presidentialism that characterizes the structure of the french Fifth Republic. In particular, the choices made by president Macron during his first presidential term are examined trying to highlight the elements of continuity and discontinuity with respect to the previous institutional dynamics. While intending to operate as a "jupitérien" head of state, therefore not involved in the day-to-day management of government activity, in reality Macron has not distanced himself from the regime's traditional practice at all. However, Macron obtained only a relative majority of seats in the national assembly in the legislative elections immediately following the last presidential ones that have relected him. This new scenario, rather than leading to an institutional impasse and a regime crisis, will require the president to constantly seek political compromise and ensure balanced management of parliamentary dynamics.
