Ensemble (ENS) is a coalition of centrist parties, including Mr Macron’s Renaissance party; the pro-European MoDem; Horizons, a party founded by Edouard Philippe, a former prime minister; and others. It is currently the largest group in France’s National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, holding 250 seats—it fell short of winning an absolute majority of 289 seats in the elections in 2022. Since the previous election, Mr Macron’s alliance has needed to partner with other parties to pass laws. Gabriel Attal, Mr Macron’s 35-year-old Renaissance colleague, became France’s youngest ever prime minister in January.
