Following the second round of French legislative elections, the left-wing coalition, known as the New Popular Front, has emerged as a strong contender for power.

Mathilde Panot, a re-elected deputy from the far-left party La France Insoumise, announced that the left would propose a prime minister and government this week.

However, disagreements persist within the coalition regarding the selection process and profile of the potential prime minister.

While some advocate for a unifying figure, others, including Panot, have not ruled out the possibility of Jean-Luc Mélenchon taking the role.

The situation presents a unique political landscape in France, with the left-wing alliance positioning itself as a formidable opposition to the current administration.
