France’s leftist coalition fumes over Macron’s rejection of its candidate to become prime minister
NICE, France — France’s main left-wing coalition on Tuesday accused President Emmanuel Macron of denying democracy after he rejected the New Popular Front’s candidate for prime minister following last month’s inconclusive election.
The New Popular Front coalition won the most seats in the National Assembly. Macron’s centrist alliance came in second, and the far-right National Rally came in third, leaving France’s powerful lower house of parliament with no party holding a majority. The deeply fractured parliament wouldn’t endorse a left-wing government, Macron said, and announced another round of consultations with political leaders. He called on left-wing leaders to seek cooperation with parties outside their coalition, including with the president’s centrist alliance.
In a sign of fracturing opinion on the left, Pierre Jouvet, the Socialist Party’s secretary-general, said that its supporters don’t plan to take part in protests, and hinted that they were open to further discussions with the president. Macron’s office said last week that he would name a prime minister based on consultations that started Friday and were aimed at “moving towards the broadest and most stable majority possible.”
