President negotiates with party leaders of left and right to ensure survival of next government
French President Emmanuel Macron is exploring a non-aggression pact with moderate parties of left and right under which he would concede to some of their demands and they would promise not to censure his next prime minister following the unceremonious ousting of Michel Barnier. In an effort to calm the political turmoil in France, Macron on Tuesday held talks at the Elysée palace with party leaders, during which they laid out their demands and hinted at premiers they would object to.
France’s latest political crisis began after Macron called a snap election in June only for his camp to lose badly, delivering a lower house of parliament that is now divided into three irreconcilable blocs — a leftist alliance known as the New Popular Front , a smaller centrist grouping of several parties including Macron’s, and much strengthened RN on the far right. Macron has again begun searching for a new premier, cycling through names in recent days as parties reject various possibilities.
