French President will instead start a new round of consultations on Tuesday with parties to try to form a new government, his office says
French President Emmanuel Macron is pictured in Paris on Aug. 25. His announcement suggests there's no imminent end in sight to the country’s political crisis after he called a shock snap election that delivered an unwieldy hung parliament.French President Emmanuel Macron ruled out naming a prime minister from the leftist New Popular Front alliance and will instead start a new round of consultations on Tuesday with parties to try to form a new government, Macron’s office said.
No grouping emerged from the snap election earlier this summer with a majority, with the vote evenly split between the New Popular Front, Macron’s centrist bloc and the far-right National Rally. Leaders from France’s far-right National Rally said earlier on Monday their party will block any prime ministerial candidate from the New Popular Front, narrowing Macron’s options to resolve the stalemate.
It remains to be seen who Macron will turn to. The eventual name, someone with the broadest possible appeal, will still need to win approval from lawmakers, and if they say no, Macron will have to go back to the drawing board.
