The French left-wing coalition, New Popular Front (NFP), is calling on President Emmanuel Macron to respect the results of the recent snap legislative elections.

Despite winning a relative majority, the NFP faces resistance from Macron's camp in forming a government.

Socialist leader Olivier Faure has declared himself ready to assume the role of Prime Minister.

However, Macron's allies argue that an NFP-led government would be quickly overthrown due to lack of a clear majority.

The President is taking his time in designating a new Prime Minister, maintaining Gabriel Attal in the position for now.

This delay has led to accusations of 'denial of democracy' from the left, as they urge Macron not to 'erase the election results.
