The French left-wing coalition, known as the New Popular Front, is facing internal strife as it struggles to agree on a Prime Minister candidate.
Marine Tondelier, leader of the Greens, expressed frustration with the ongoing negotiations, describing herself as 'angry' and 'disgusted' by the leadership battle between the Socialists and the far-left France Unbowed party.
The Socialists rejected Huguette Bello, while France Unbowed opposed Laurence Tubiana.
This deadlock has led to growing concerns among left-wing voters, with some politicians apologizing for the disappointing spectacle.
The impasse threatens to undermine the coalition's recent legislative gains and potentially benefit President Emmanuel Macron's centrist agenda.
