European lawmaker Hervé Juvin commented for Sputnik Africa on the defeat of Emmanuel Macron's bloc in the first round of France's snap parliamentary elections.He stressed the need for an agreement that "respects the rights of Ukraine," as well as those of the Russian-speaking population in the east of the country. "It is much too early to draw lessons from the vote," the politician said. However, he fears that "France will be very difficult to govern in the coming months."In the current geopolitical context, "it seems extremely dangerous that France is unable to form a clear governing majority. It seems to me very harmful for France's image in the world. It seems to me very harmful to the interests of the French people," he declared.He stands for a France that "knows how to talk to our American allies as well as to these great countries of our near future, India, China, and the other countries with which France must of course maintain permanent relations."

What Do France's Snap Election Results Show?
Earlier, the bloc of French President Emmanuel Macron came in third in the first round of the parliamentary elections, according to preliminary results. This followed a series of statements by President Macron, who did not rule out sending French troops to Ukraine.
European lawmaker Hervé Juvin commented for
Sputnik Africa on the defeat of Emmanuel
Macron's bloc in the first round of France's snap parliamentary elections.
"These elections show the fact that two-thirds of the French people are in favor of a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia as soon as possible," he pointed out.
He stressed the need for an agreement that "respects the rights of Ukraine," as well as those of the Russian-speaking population in the east of the country. "It is much too early to draw lessons from the vote," the politician said. However, he fears that "France will be very difficult to govern in the coming months."
He noted a "concern about the way France will be governed in the coming months or years" on the part of Paris' main partners.
In the current geopolitical context, "it seems extremely dangerous that France is unable to form a clear governing majority. It seems to me very harmful for France's image in the world. It seems to me very harmful to the interests of the French people," he declared.
On the foreign policy front, "after France's debacle in Africa, after the fact that French policy has made France hated by many of our African friends and allies, it is very important to find a foreign policy that respects the long-term interests of non-aligned France," he underscored.
He stands for a France that "knows how to talk to our American allies as well as to these great countries of our near future, India,
China, and the other countries with which France must of course maintain permanent relations."
