President Emmanuel Macron has requested Gabriel Attal's temporary continuation as French prime minister to ensure stability following a snap general election which resulted in a hung parliament and complex government formation discussions.
Following an unexpected outcome in European parliamentary elections, with no party securing majority, there are multiple paths forward including a technocratic administration or coalitions from the centre left and right.
Attal submitted his resignation after Macron's political alliance experienced significant losses in seats but was asked to remain in office until after the Paris Olympics to maintain order.
Gaël Sliman, an Odoxa pollster, highlighted the unprecedented uncertainty under France’s Fifth Republic, founded in 1958. The Green Party's leader suggested President Macron should officially invite them for prime minister consideration according to their party's agenda.
The NFP leaders met on Monday to discuss potential government formation strategies, although the alliance showed signs of internal disagreement regarding coalition options.
Raphaël Glucksmann, a moderate political figure from France Unbowed (LFI), emphasized openness for dialogue and compromise with other parliamentary groups but faced opposition in this direction from NFP leaders.
