Politics

An-Nahar, Lebanon, August 22For more stories from The Media Line go to themedialine.org French President Emmanuel Macron is consulting with the heads of French parties and parliamentary groups to decide on appointing a new prime minister who can secure broad support in parliament. This move comes in response to the recent legislative elections that resulted in a fragmented political landscape, with no single party or alliance achieving an outright majority of 289 out of 577 seats. Neither the leftist New Popular Front nor the Republicans or Marine Le Pen’s National Rally managed to gain a dominant position. The Ensemble block, under Macron’s umbrella, also failed to clinch a clear majority.
