- Almost two months after the legislative elections, Emmanuel Macron had still not named a prime minister on Thursday morning, August 29, and is still looking for a way to form a government. On Tuesday, the right hardened its tone, calling, through its leader Laurent Wauquiez, on the head of state to stop “postpone”while the socialists showed their divisions.
- On the left, anger remains high following the president’s refusal to hand Matignon the keys to the New Popular Front by appointing Lucie Castets. Should we or should we not call for demonstrations on September 7 as La France insoumise? Should we go to the new consultations of the Head of State to discuss another name for the post of Prime Minister, which the first secretary, Olivier Faure, refused to do? During a stormy national meeting on Tuesday, the Socialist Party was divided on the attitude it should adopt towards Emmanuel Macron and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. This bodes well for frank and lively debates at the PS’s summer university, which opens this Thursday in Blois.
- to continue your “consultations” In anticipation of the appointment of a prime minister, Emmanuel Macron will receive the main local elected representatives at the Elysée Palace on Thursday: first Carole Delga (PS) and Renaud Muselier (Renaissance) for the regions, then the president of the association of mayors of France, LR David Lisnard. On the international front, he will then receive the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, before embarking on an official visit to Serbia.
