Macron Delays PM Appointment Until Post-Olympics
News summary

French President Emmanuel Macron has delayed naming a new prime minister until after the Paris Olympic Games, urging parties in the fractured parliament to build a broad coalition. The left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) alliance, which secured the most seats in the recent parliamentary elections, has proposed Lucie Castets, a senior civil servant and anti-money laundering specialist, as their candidate for prime minister. Castets, although relatively unknown to the public, has a background in defending public services and fighting fiscal and financial fraud. Macron's decision comes amid a contentious political landscape, with no party holding a clear majority and the NFP's recent setback in losing the National Assembly leadership to a coalition of Macron's centrists and right-wing lawmakers. The president has emphasized the need for a prime minister backed by a solid, plural coalition, implicitly ruling out the NFP governing alone.
