Not going to happen though. While the left came first they still are not a majority. They hold 180 seats, which is less than 1/3 of the 577. No one really won the election.
Its really deadlock and all 3 groups will struggle to work together as none want the blame for the mess that will be split gjvernment, and all want to position themselves as the solution, win the presidency and/or next set of legislative elections.
So there is no way the centre or right will vote in a 90% tax on the rich. It'll be a struggle to even get a basic budget passed.
That's just how parliaments work. The Left has more pull than usual so they are announcing their policy goals to anchor their allies. They won't get any of what they want in full but now they have to work with their partners in government to get legislation done. I have no idea if the centrists and the right party are as obstructionist as the American GOP though, or if France's parliament has any levers to prevent outright obstruction
