New Prime Minister: When will he be appointed?

After the consultations of Friday, August 23, the line of conduct on the right was unanimous: no Insoumis ministers in the new government. Jean-Luc Mélenchon then took everyone by surprise and asked this question: “If the government of Madame Lucie Castets did not include any Insoumis ministers, would you commit to not voting for censure and to allowing her to implement the programme for which we came out on top in the legislative elections?”For the leader of LFI, it is a question of knowing whether ousting Insoumis ministers is a real condition or a simple pretext for not implementing the program of the New Popular Front (NFP).

“La France insoumise is today, without doubt, the greatest political danger for our country”said Laurent Wauquiez, president of the “Republican Right” group in the National Assembly. To close the first cycle of consultations, Emmanuel Macron will receive, on Monday, August 26, Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella and Éric Ciotti, as well as the two presidents of Parliament. According to the Élysée, the head of state does not rule out new discussions on Tuesday, which would further delay the appointment of a Prime Minister. A delay that is annoying.
