President Emmanuel Macron has instructed Prime Minister Gabriel Attal to manage day-to-day affairs as France faces a fragmented parliament after the recent election, leaving no faction close to a majority. The leftist New Popular Front aims to form a government, leading negotiations with parties like France Unbowed, the Socialists, and the Greens. Internal divisions complicate the selection of a prime minister, with talks exploring hard-left and center-left options. The situation, unprecedented in France's modern history, poses a risk of government paralysis for the EU's second-largest economy. The election's results highlight a significant shift in France's political landscape, with far-left, center, and far-right factions vying for control.
