The gamble that French President Emmanuel Macron took when he called a snap election has not paid off, according to Armin Steinbach, Jean Monnet professor of EU Law and economics at HEC Paris."It didn't pay off. What wanted to achieve was clarity, clarification on support for his government, and in that he failed," Steinbach told CNBC's Charlotte Reed on Monday.
The election outcome has weakened Macron on a global level, Fordham suggested, adding that it will make it more difficult for the president to maintain his policy positions.
