PARIS - Supporters of Emmanuel Macron no longer know what to make of the decision by the President of the Republic to disregard the ballot box result and not appoint Lucie Castets and the New Popular Front to the Matignon Palace.

Poprodejní servis... od Emmanuela Macrona. Od jeho odmítnutí jmenovat Lucii Castetsovou předsedkyní vlády znásobili jeho blízcí aproximace, aby lidé věřili, že hlava státu ctí demokracii a instituce.

Pro Minister of Culture Rachida Dati it is therefore perfectly logical that the New Popular Front (NPF) is not called to govern on the grounds that levice je v zemi "intellectually and electorally largely a minority" . However, it was this force that came to the fore during the July parliamentary elections. Two years ago, when the Macronists won a relative majority in the Assembly, the President did not hesitate to appoint Élisabeth Borne as Prime Minister.
