Macron's Struggle to Form a Stable Government in France Continues

Despite the victory of the left-wing alliance in the parliamentary elections, Macron is rejecting their demand to appoint their candidate as Prime Minister. He is seeking to work with other parties to form a stable government and maintain institutional stability.

Macron's alliance partner criticizes his approach, while the right-wing populists are disappointed with their third-place finish. Macron aims to include parties from the left spectrum in his government, but he wants to avoid overshadowing the start of the Paralympic Games with the appointment of a new Prime Minister.

The search for a government is further complicated by the need to submit the 2025 budget draft by October. France is facing political instability as Macron grapples with the challenge of forming a coalition that can preserve his unpopular pension reforms.
