L’introduzione, tra il 2000 e il 2001, del mandato presidenziale di cinque anni e la successiva inversione del calendario elettorale hanno profondamente inciso sul funzionamento della Quinta repubblica, accentuando il ruolo governante del Capo dello stato e le probabilità che gli elettori assicurino la presenza del fait majoritaire ovvero dell’omogeneità politica della maggioranza parlamentare a quella presidenziale, condizione indispensabile perché il presidente possa attuare i propri impegni programmatici. Primo capo dello Stato da vent’anni a essere rieletto per un secondo quinquennato, Macron ha tuttavia ottenuto nelle elezioni legislative immediatamente successive a quelle presidenziali solo la maggioranza relativa dei seggi all’assemblea nazionale. Questo nuovo scenario più che provocare una impasse istituzionale, impone al presidente della repubblica di abbandonare la verticalizzazione del suo primo quinquennato per operare invece come un polo di aggregazione politica in grado di ricercare costantemente il compromesso politico e di assicurare un’equilibrata gestione delle dinamiche parlamentari.

Abstract
The introduction, between 2000 and 2001, of the five-year presidential term and the subsequent inversion of the electoral calendar have profoundly affected the functioning of the french Fifht republic, accentuating the governing role of the head of State and the likelihood that the voters ensure the presence of the fait majoritaire or of political homogeneity of the parliamentary majority to the presidential one, an indispensable condition for the president to be able to implement his programmatic commitments. The first head of state in twenty years to be re-elected for a second five-year term, Macron nevertheless obtained only the relative majority of seats in the national assembly in the legislative elections immediately following the presidential ones. This new scenario, rather than provoking an institutional impasse, requires the president of republic to abandon the verticalization of his first five-year term to operate instead as a pole of political aggregation capable of constantly seeking political compromise and ensuring balanced management of parliamentary dynamics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
