France’s leftist coalition fumes over Macron’s rejection of its candidate to become PM • FRANCE 24
France’s main left-wing coalition on Tuesday accused President Emmanuel Macron of denying democracy after he rejected the New Popular Front’s candidate for prime minister following last month’s inconclusive election. As president, Macron has the sole power to name the prime minister according to the French Constitution. French politicians have been deadlocked over a future government since an early legislative vote in July produced no clear winner. The latest tensions include calls for major protests against Macron next week as Paris prepares to host the Paralympic Games with the opening ceremony set for Wednesday evening.

Democracy is a joke 😂😂😂U can win the vote and you dont get your person in office
Played by Macron.
Remove him
These are the countries that want to tell
Venezuela 🇻🇪 about democratic values
Best decision Macron made this year.
Don't you mean the Far Left?
He has let the left union to chose a prime minister during several days, and when they found her, he said no left no right.
THE LEFT DID NOT WIN and any coalition relying on the far left will lose a vote of confidence it’s simply
Left just can’t accept how much sore losers they are being
It's funny how the left block acted like they have a majority, they may come on top, but RN is the single largest party
Reminds me about how france under Macron and germany under Merkel put von der Laien at the top of the EU, trampling on democratic principles. This seems no different.
This is just a strategy of Macron to divide and break the Popular Front from within
macron is leftist
France is Socialist enough. You don't need a Socialist PM. 🤷🏻
You see you need to vote for parties we approve of, if you deviate from that you're extremists and your vote don't count.
I don’t know the details of the talks half among the parties and with the president. But what I suspect is that the leftist coalition pretended to govern with their programme, no offer of half-half with Macrons coalition. Of course, this won’t fly. If the left wants to govern not having alone the necessary majority, it needs to engage in serious coalition talks with its former opponents from Macron’s party.
Good.
Talking about democracy Marine got 3 million voters more than the leftists. How is that democratic
Is ‘rejecting a candidate’ a euphemism for ‘conducting an authoritarians coup’?
