government search in France - Macron will form a new government only after Olympia
French President Emmanuel Macron will at latest after the end of the Olympics in his country appoint a new Prime Minister. "It is our responsibility that the Games go well," Macron said in the evening on France 2. "It is clear that we are not in a situation where we can change things before mid-August, as we would create chaos."
The previously governing center-right government of Macron's camp is to continue its business operations. Afterwards, it will be his responsibility, depending on the progress of the talks, to appoint a new Prime Minister, Macron said.
The left-wing New Popular Front alliance surprised everyone in the recently advanced Parliamentary elections two weeks ago. Macron's center forces dropped to second place, the right-wing Rassemblement National of Marine Le Pen came in third. None of the camps have an absolute majority in the National Assembly. It is still unclear what a government could look like.
Macron calls for compromises
The French president called on the various political camps once again to find ways for cooperation. The French were expecting them to come together, as they had already done before the second round of voting to prevent the victory of the Right-National.
Less than an hour before Macron's television appearance, the left-wing alliance of Socialists, Greens, Communists, and the Left Party La France Insoumise had proposed Lucie Castet, a civil servant of the higher service, as Prime Minister. Macron, however, said it was not about a specific name. "The question is which majority can develop in the National Assembly to enable a French government to implement reforms, pass a budget, and move the country forward?"
When asked if Macron would consider resigning as President in the face of continuing political chaos in France, he said, "The French have entrusted me with a mandate. I will fulfill it in its entirety."
