French left lawmakers slam Macron's decision not to appoint a new PM until after the Olympics
LEFT lawmakers in France today slammed the decision by the country’s president not to appoint a new prime minister until after the Olympic Games.
President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday he will maintain the caretaker government, led by his business-centred coalition, through the Olympics to avoid “disorder.”
Mr Macron brushed aside a prime minister nomination by the left-wing New Popular Front (NPF), which won most seats at this month’s National Assembly elections.
