Macron rejects left-wing government amid France’s political deadlock

After his party’s defeat in the July elections, Macron must decide who to nominate for prime minister.
The NFP, particularly the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI), has demanded for their right to form a government. The party argued that since it won the most seats, it should pick the new prime minister. It has chosen Lucie Castets, 37, as its candidate.
However, Macron’s party, along with the conservatives and the far right, have promised to vote no confidence in a left-wing government.
