This article aims to explain the factors behind the defeat of Renaissance in the European

Parliament Election in 2019. The European Union was created as an effort to ensure

peace between European Countries, especially after World War II. Its establishment has

succeeded in binding all its members to obey and comply with policies that have been

jointly made. There are three main EU institutions that are working together in creating

policies; they are the European Commission, the EU Council and the European

Parliament. The European Parliament consists of representatives from each European

member country. The structure of the European Parliament consists of a President, Vice

President and 750 members. Members of the European Parliament are elected directly

by the European community every five years. In the European Parliament election in

2019, the party founded by Emmanuel Macron, La République en marche! was in

coalition with three other parties that had the same political orientation as them. This

coalition was known as "Renaissance". The declining of Emmanuel Macron's popularity

was the fundamental reason as to why this coalition happened in the first place.

Renaissance offered programs that focus on environment, national defense, and

economic growth of the EU. However despite all of that, the Renaissance suffered

defeat in the 2019 European Parliament Election. The cause of their loss was influenced

by the incompatibility of their programs with the actual economic and social conditions

of France. This research uses historical methods with a politicological approach
