Yes because the 5th republic’s constitution was written by degaulle post war which give some veto power as the president.

But let’s not blame De gaule for all the ills in the world all the parties uses anti-democratic means to advance using the constitution.

Mitterand from the socialist party will prop up the rightwing to steal votes from the communists or even the center right in elections.

The constitution is not working but no winner is going to dissolve the means in which they use to come into power.

He basically took the Weimar constitution because it succeeded at its main goal of stopping the communists from ever taking power.
