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.
