a drive by a left-wing ally to brand a new prime minister after lock elections was rejected by French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday.
Instead, he argued that functions in a fractified congress should work together to form a broad coalition following the Paris Olympics.
Macron told broadcaster France 2:” Of course, we need to remain focused on the Games until mid-August.
” From next… it will be my duty to brand a prime minister and leave them with the task of forming a state, with the broadest support possible”, he said.
Who is the public’s candidate?
Just an hour before Macron spoke in a televised interview, France’s leftist New Popular Front ( NPF ) coalition, which won the most seats in parliament in this month’s election, proposed financial crime expert Lucie Castets as its candidate for prime minister.
At Paris City Hall, Castets is the director of funding and purchasing. She graduated in 2013 from the Ecole Nationale d’Administration, France’s wealthy class for legal workers. But she has no history in party politicians.
When asked about Castets, Macron told France 2:” This is not the problem. The label is not the problem. The issue is: Which majority can emerge at the ( National ) Assembly”?
” Until mid-August, we’re in no position to change things, because it would make condition”, Macron added. The Paris Olympics, which begin this week and continue through August 11, pose a significant administrative and security challenge for France.
Why is France in a social issue?
Since the jump vote, there has been political chaos in France.
No group won an outright majority in the lower house of parliament, which is rather loosely divided into three coalitions: the leftist New Popular Front, which won the most votes in the National Assembly, Macron’s moderate friends, and the far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen.
The four events in the communist NPF — the hard-left France Unbowed, the Socialists, the Greens and the Communists — had been wrangling for months over who should be put forward as prime minister.
Macron, who has a national authority until 2027, has the ultimate say over who is appointed perfect minister. However, that individual may require adequate support from the legislature to avoid a no-confidence vote.
