The winner of the early parliamentary elections in France left coalition bloc "New People's Front" is divided on the issue of who will be the new prime minister of the country, reported DPA, quoted by BTA.
The multi-party alliance, which surprisingly outpaced the far-right led by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardela in the "National Assembly", and the centrist bloc "Together" around President Emmanuel Macron, consists mainly of the Socialists, the "Greens" and the far-left "Rebellious France" of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
At a meeting between the socialists and "Rebellious France" no agreement has been reached on the nomination for prime minister to replace Gabriel Atal, informs radio "France Info". yesterday. The Socialist Party of France sees its leader Olivier Faure as the most suitable candidate for the post of head of the new government.
"Unruly France" insists on the member of the National Assembly (lower house of the French parliament) Clemence Goethe. She organized Mélenchon's campaign for the 2022 presidential election. On Monday, the "New Popular Front" has announced that it hopes to field a prime ministerial candidate by the end of this week or early next. It is still not certain that an entirely left-wing government will be formed, DPA points out.
Meanwhile, the television channel BeFM spread the news that, in the context of the controversy over the prime ministerial nomination, Faure's socialists are exploring the possibility of breaking away from the "New People's Front" and join Macron's camp.
