After coming out on top in the legislative elections, the New Popular Front, which says it is ready to govern, is beginning negotiations within itself, particularly to appoint a Prime Minister.
Family photos in front of the National Assembly. First the environmentalists, then the Insoumis and now the Socialists and the Communists, Tuesday July 9. In total, 180 deputies of the New Popular Front pose in front of the lens, and among all these faces, perhaps that of the potential Prime Minister. Each preaches for his parish. To the question “Do you feel capable of being Prime Minister or not?” The First Secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), Olivier Faure, responded favorably. “I am ready to take on this role”he said, as negotiations between the left-wing parties began to designate a candidate for Matignon.
But the possibilities are multiple. Finding an incarnation on the left takes time. But what about Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is causing a repelling effect? The person concerned is trying to calm things down. Some have a specific name to suggest. For the moment, Gabriel Attal remains Prime Minister after Emmanuel Macron refused his resignation. But how long will this situation last?
