The Left Blames French President Emmanuel Macronwho will need time to find a prime minister, and demands that the government provide them in the name of respect for the results of the legislative electionsfrom which they emerged with the largest parliamentary group, but far from an absolute majority.
“I have doubts that Macron will respect the poll results”This was stated on Tuesday by La Francia Insumisa (LFI) MP Matilde Panot, who said that voters in the legislative elections of June 30 and July 7 voted for a “break” and that, therefore, The current Prime Minister Gabriel Attal cannot continue his duties.
In an interview with the channel BFMTVPanot, who is one of the lieutenants of the scandalous LFI leader Jean-Luc Melenchoninsisted that Attal could not remain in office on July 14, France’s National Day, when “He was defeated three times in a row” in the European elections on June 9 and then in two rounds of legislative elections.

He The New Popular Front (NPF), made up of the LFI, the Socialist Party (PS), the ecologists and the French Communist Party (PCF), is engaged in internal debates about who will be its candidate for prime minister. and he intends to name a name “by the end of the week” which will be named by the President of the Republic, who is the one who holds this constitutional prerogative.
However, on Sunday, after learning the first results of the second round, Macron said it would take time before a new National Assembly was formed, which will be created on the 18th.
Meanwhile, this Monday ratified Attalos, who resigned, in his post so that he could continue to serve in his government is in charge of day-to-day affairs and is heading to Washington today to attend a NATO summit that runs until Thursday.

According to Pano, “it is absurd for the President of the Republic to wait to see a balance” in the Chamber of Deputies, because, according to his version, which should be tested during the formation of the National Assembly, the PNF will have parliamentary group of approximately 195 seatscompared to approximately 160-170 macronist blocks And 143 National Group (RN).
“We are the largest group,” the LFI deputy emphasized, insisting that “The Macronists have been defeated” and Macron should hand over the government to them respect the “survey results”.
The problem, on the one hand, is that even if the NFP managed to attract deputies with different political backgrounds (for example, some representatives of foreign departments with no clear affiliation) until it reaches 195, This would still be very far from an absolute majority.
In addition, there are movements within the Macronist bloc that are trying to establish what MP Yael Braun-Piwe, a former speaker of the National Assembly, called on Tuesday “software alliance” around a central bloc of Republicans (LR, traditional right-wing party) to the “left social democrats”.
In another radio interview France InterBrown-Pieve noted that The NFP, which has 182 seats in principle, “represents only 32% of the National Assembly and is very, very far from a majority.”which he thinks means that “They cannot govern alone.”

For Panot, this is not a compelling argument, nor is it a reproach to the right, which many voters They voted for left-wing candidates not because they agreed with their program, but in order to prevent the victory of the far-right RN.
The LFI representative responded that this was true. consequence of the “two-round majoritarian system”in which voters often have to vote in the second round choose the option they consider to be the least bad.
The fact is that the NFP is emerging, if we do not count the surprises in the formation of the National Assembly, because the first group in the chamber, although with its 7.4 million voters, its votes remained far below the 10.1 million that RN received. with its allies, dropped to third place with its 143 deputies.
