The French President launched Emmanuel Macron Friday, consultations with the country’s main political forces to form a new government after the elections held on July 7.
This day seems long and stressful for the president, who has been facing objections within his camp since he took the decision to dissolve parliament and call for early elections, a move that resulted in a resounding defeat for the president’s political camp.
And the government runs Gabriel Attal The resigned (in charge of running the country for 38 days, an unprecedented period since the end of World War IIWith major budget deadlines approaching.
In an attempt to get out of the crisis, Macron launched these sessions this morning by receiving at the Elysee Palace the “New Popular Front”, a leftist alliance that includes the radical left, socialists, environmentalists and communists.
This alliance achieved a surprise in the elections by obtaining 193 seats, but this number is far from the absolute majority of 289 seats.
Upon her arrival at the Elysee Palace, the Front’s candidate for the post of Prime Minister, Lucie Castet, confirmed that she carries a “solution for stability” in the country.
She added, “We came to remind the president of the importance of respecting the election results and getting the country out of the state of paralysis it is experiencing.”
Later, Macron received officials from his camp and then the Republican Right. Macron’s camp won 166 seats.
He will end his day with two smaller movements before holding new talks next Monday with the far-right National Rally and its allies (142 deputies), who are the only ones who rule out participating in a government coalition and are preparing for upcoming elections, especially the presidential elections in 2027.
The Elysee explained yesterday, Thursday, that these consultations aim to “determine the conditions” for these political forces to accept forming a “broad majority,” stressing that the president is “the guarantor of the institutions.”
The same source added that “stability” means “the government’s ability not to fall in the face of the first no-confidence motion against it.”
On the left, the New Popular Front is fiercely insisting on its candidate and accusing Macron of stalling to avoid dealing with the left.
authoritarian behavior
The party denounced proud france (Radical Left) Friday, which dominates the front with the “authoritarian behavior” of the president.
“He must accept his defeat, we have lost a lot of time,” said party coordinator Manuel Bompard. Green leader Marine Tondellier said Macron was “inaction” and “obstructionism.”
However, the impasse continues as Macron rules out appointing Lucie Castet, while the presidential camp, the right and the far right threaten to submit a motion of no confidence to any government that includes ministers from the “France Insoumise” party.
