< p>French far-right leader Marine Le Pen today compared a far-left politician's call for a march to the prime minister's office and the storming of the Capitol by supporters of former US President Donald Trump, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
Le Pen said that the "New Popular Front" has almost "subversive attitudes as he calls for the violent takeover of "Matignon, as we can see", referring to the prime minister's office.
The left-wing "New People's Front" unexpectedly won the most seats in the French parliament, but with no party getting an absolute majority, France is in a state of uncertainty, with poor prospects for forming a stable government, Reuters notes.
After President Emmanuel Macron asked Prime Minister Gabriel Attal to remain in office to deal with current affairs, the former lawmaker from "Rebellious France" Adrien Catenan accused Macron of wanting to "steal" the victory of the left and proposed to organize a "great civil march" in the direction of the Prime Minister's office.
"This is their storming of the Capitol,", Le Pen added, referring to the storming of Capitol Hill by Trump supporters in 2021. The far-left "Rebellious France" immediately denied the accusation. Cattenan, said Le Pen was "crazy" if she took his post about the march as a call to riot.
Macron usually calls on the largest parliamentary group to form a government, but nothing in the constitution obliges him to do so.
Possibilities include a broad coalition or minority government, or a technocratic government led by a non-politician, each of which would seek to legislate in parliament on a case-by-case basis, with specific agreements on each question.
The phones are ringing off the hook, political sources told Reuters, with some centrists already hoping they can strike a deal with conservative "Republicans" and push out the left.
"I think there is an alternative to the "New Popular Front", he told the TV "France 2" Aurore Berge, a high-ranking representative of Macron's group "Renaissance". "I think the French do not want the platform of the "New Popular Front" to be implemented, I think they don't want an increase in taxes," she said.
Any government, left, centrist or of a wider coalition, can quickly fall victim to a vote of confidence by the opposition if it does not secure enough solid support.
