After the recent election, Emmanuel Macron remained silent on the new political landscape in France as he delayed appointing a new government. With the National Assembly session approaching, alliances among different political camps are being formed. The New Popular Front is the largest with 182 seats, followed closely by Macron’s Together bloc with 168 seats, and Marine Le Pen’s National Rally with 143 seats.
The New People’s Front, the surprise winner, is still deciding on a prime minister nominee. Leaders like Jean-Luc Melenchon and Olivier Faure are positioning themselves for key roles. Marine Tondelier, from the Greens, represents the young leftist voters and aims for a prominent role in the new government.
As negotiations unfold, figures like Xavier Bertrand, Gerald Darmanin, and Edouard Philippe are also in the spotlight, vying for influential positions. With the Olympic Games approaching, security concerns add another layer of complexity to the political landscape in France.
The president’s decision on the new government is eagerly awaited, promising potential surprises in the near future.
