There was a massive leak of Israeli docs but hadn't heard anything about France.
Though Macron is doing the populist thing and refusing to hand over the presidency after losing the election.

Thanks. That makes my question more on point.
Why would Macron hand over the presidency after losing an election that wasn't about the presidency?
Perhaps you'd like to explain why this election result is so different from previous results.
How long, if ever, has it been since there was a majority party elected?
Do you think this is the correct action by Macron?
Earlier he declared he wouldn't hand over power because of the Olympics, do you think that's legit as well?
Macron's party had an absolute majority (not even requiring a coalition, although they still made one) up until 2022.
There hadn't been a minority government in France since the early 90s.
No.
I think he's being a dick and showing his true colours as someone who thinks he should be in charge no matter what.
The whole snap election smacked of dickish arrogance and this is part of the same thing.
The "pause" because of the Olympics was pretty clearly a move to stall for time.
All that said, no one's presented a strong argument that he's wrong that any prime minister he appoints from the current coalition wouldn't be immediately thrown out in a vote of no-confidence.
I expect its because cohabitation with a group diametrically opposed to his policies means accepting his own gambit cost him and that he's now stuck for a few years as a lame duck.
He's being impeached but that sounds as useful as the US system.
What would an impeachment procedure against Macron consist of?
The lengthy mechanism provided for in Article 68 of the Constitution currently has virtually no chance of leading to the removal of the French president from office.

‘Russians do everything via Telegram.’ Pavel Durov’s arrest upends Kremlin military comms.
Although Durov publicly distances himself from Moscow, his platform has become vital for Russian army coordination in Ukraine.
