another busy day for the French president who has hosted a string of party leaders at the IL since Friday in hopes of finding a candidate for prime minister that would not immediately be toppled in a confidence vote that is exactly what the far rights Marine Leen and Jordan bardel said they planned on doing if the candidate and the government came from the leftwing new popular front so we've asked for an extraordinary session to be opened so that the Prime Minister whoever it is can appear before the assembly the new popular front in its program movement and figures that personify it today represents a danger we will defend the country from a government that will divide French society a position also expressed by some of Emanuel macron's allies and the leader of the Conservative Republican party any prime minister from one of the four parties of the new popular front will be subject to an immediate Noid vote by the MPS in my group the National Assembly is largely split between three blocks with none close to a majority but as the largest of the three the leftwing new popular front argues that it should form the government it has asked mcon to consider 37-year-old Economist and civil servant Lucy castair as head of government we therefore ask that the new popular front government be allowed to work to set up a budget exercise and then to leave it to the French people to judge over the weekend as a compromise hard left France unbow leader Jean L said that the government would not have to include his party members a key objection of the right and center the pressure is mounting on maon who has now left the caretaker government in place for an unprecedented period and with the deadline to present a draft 2025 budget just over a month away
