Macron very probably held the election to give himself a legitimate reason to ally with the far-right. Basically every "center-right" party in Europe is currently looking to do exactly that.
(It's basically the same alliance that the Republicans have already formed, just within one party, and not quite as successfully.)
So the problem for Macron isn't that his party didn't win, it's that the left won, and now his party should be working with them... and like the rest of his ilk just loathes the idea.
