Macron Calls for Unity Amid Parliamentary Gridlock
The French President urges mainstream parties to form a coalition as the left-wing alliance pushes to govern.
- Emmanuel Macron has remained silent since the election until now, calling for a coalition of parties with 'republican values'.
- The New Popular Front, a left-wing alliance, won the most seats but lacks a majority to form a government.
- Macron's centrist bloc came second, followed by Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally.
- Internal divisions within the left-wing alliance present challenges for their bid to govern.
- Observers note that Macron's decision on the new prime minister could take time and may be unexpected.
