French President Emmanuel Macron has ruled out the appointment of Lucie Castets from the left-wing coalition as prime minister, following extensive consultations aimed at resolving the political deadlock in France. Macron's decision reflects his desire to maintain control and stability within his government, despite criticism from leftist parties regarding democratic legitimacy.
The Elysee Palace discussions have been described as a tactical maneuver, with analysts suggesting that Macron's approach may lead to continued political instability. Potential scenarios for the future include appointing a prime minister from the center-right or center-left, or even forming a government of technocrats. As France prepares for the Olympic Games and the summer vacation, the absence of a prime minister raises concerns about governance and legitimacy.
