The government has been managing current affairs for 38 days since the legislative elections, a record under the Fifth Republic. Matignon is looking for its new tenant. Emmanuel Macron received Lucie Castets and the main members of the New Popular Front at the Élysée Palace on Friday, August 23.
After 1h30 of discussions with the Head of State, Friday August 23, Lucie Castets and the main members of the New Popular Front (NFP) left the Élysée with a determined step, satisfied. “The president is lucid (…) and this is very good news“, the candidate for Matignon rejoiced. But for her, “The temptation still seems to exist for the president to form his government”as the NFP seeks to form a new government and form coalitions.
“There is no other proposal on the table today”supports Olivier Faure, national secretary of the Socialist Party. The master of clocks will have to speed up his hands. “There are emergencies and letting the weeks go by without addressing them is serious and irresponsible.”underlines Marine Tondelier, national secretary of environmentalists.
The President of the Republic continued his consultations throughout the day with the other parties represented in Parliament. The NFP proposal did not fail to raise eyebrows, particularly within the Renaissance group and among THE Republicans.
