French legislative elections: Can Macron hold on to his majority?

Description

In France, the parliamentary elections are almost seen as a simple procedure that confirms the president's hold on power with a majority in parliament. A result of the fact the poll takes place just a few weeks after the presidential election. But will this year be different? Emmanuel Macron secured his second term as president fairly comfortably, with over 58% of the vote in the second round. But this may have been less of endorsement, and more of a resigned move to block the far-right.
