When six weeks have passed since the second round of elections legislative elections in France and a month later the resignation of the government of Gabriel Attal, and also after the break of the Paris Olympic Games, the consultations for the appointment of a new Prime Minister are slowly beginning. The situation does not seem to worry Emmanuel Macron, who keeps the outgoing executive – in office – in its post, while hoping that the different political blocs of the fragmented Parliament resulting from the ballot boxes will move towards the formation of agreements for “a people” “broad” coalition as requested in the letter to citizens published on July 10.
The French president took a first step toward forming a new government by inviting party leaders to “a series of talks” this Friday. “The appointment of the Prime Minister will take place within the framework of the extension of this period of consultations and its conclusions,” the Elysée announced a few days ago in a statement. In the same text, the president's office affirms that Macron is aware of “the desire for change and unity” expressed by voters in the last elections and assures that “he continues to move towards the formation of a larger and more stable majority in the service of the country.”
