The political landscape in France remains uncertain as President Emmanuel Macron faces challenges in appointing a new prime minister after the recent legislative elections. With no clear majority in the National Assembly, Macron is struggling to find a candidate capable of uniting the nation.
Consultations with various political leaders have been inconclusive so far, with Macron ruling out forming a government from the left-wing bloc, the New Popular Front. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy has advocated for a right-wing prime minister, reflecting the current political sentiment in France.
Tensions have risen on the left, with calls for a government drawn from their ranks and even a resolution submitted to remove Macron from office. However, centrist parties are urging caution and await Macron’s decision, which is expected imminently.
Speculation surrounds possible candidates for the role, including Bernard Cazeneuve, Xavier Bertrand, Karim Bouamrane, and Ségolène Royal. The appointment could come as soon as September 1st, just before the start of the new school year.
