Le Monde: Did Macron have to name a left-wing prime minister? No, but he could have, constitutional expert says
Emmanuel Macron is seeking a new prime minister without the left-wing Nouveau Front Populaire or the far-right Rassemblement National after the latter's candidate was rejected despite the alliance winning the most seats in recent elections. The decision raises questions about potential political instability in France.
Political expert Benjamin Morel argues that Macron's refusal is more a matter of political strategy than constitutional obligation, as the French Constitution allows him to appoint anyone. The left has accused Macron of undermining democracy, though the situation reflects historical precedents of minority governments.
