French President Macron holds talks over forming new government
FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron held talks today with key political players in a bid to form a new government.
This comes after legislative elections last month resulted in no party winning the majority at the National Assembly, France’s lower house of parliament.
Mr Macron refused to appoint a new prime minister until the Paris Olympic Games were over, opting instead to continue with a caretaker administration from his own neoliberal coalition even though they came in second at the polls.
