Macron and Matignon, a comedy that has lasted too long

For the past 47 days, France has been in a state of political deadlock as President Macron engages in discussions with various parties to form a new government. The left-wing alliance, Nouveau Front Populaire, is demanding the appointment of Lucie Castets as Prime Minister, a move supported by the Greens and La France Insoumise.

However, Macron is seeking a broad and stable majority and is consulting with right-wing nationalists and leaders of both parliamentary chambers before making a decision. The left-wing alliance lacks the absolute majority needed to govern, leading to a political stalemate.

Macron has accepted the resignation of his Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, but the appointment of a new head of government remains uncertain. As Macron continues his discussions, there is hope among the left-wing parties that a change in direction is imminent.

The future stability of France hangs in the balance as the country awaits the formation of a new government.
