Political uncertainty in the French government reemerged after President refused to name a prime minister from the left-wing coalition that won the most parliamentary seats in the snap election last month. He will instead hold a new round of consultations to form a new government, writes Euronews.

In a statement on Monday night, Emmanuel Macron said that while the talks so far had been “fair, sincere, and useful”, no practical solution had been reached, adding that the government would probably fall apart immediately upon the appointment of a prime minister from the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP).

The announcement immediately drew criticism from the NFP, which won the most seats in July’s snap elections but not enough to govern. The alliance warned it would not join any more talks unless they were about forming a government.

“We are here to remind the President of the importance of respecting the results of the elections and getting the country out of the paralysis into which it is plunged. We have come to propose a solution for stability”, - said Lucie Castets, the alliance’s candidate for prime minister.

The left-wing NFP coalition is made up of France Unbowed, the Socialists, the Communists, and the Greens.
