The New Popular Front, a left-wing coalition in France, is experiencing significant internal divisions.

These rifts have become apparent as the group struggles to agree on a candidate for Prime Minister.

The coalition, which includes socialists, environmentalists, communists, and La France Insoumise, has been unable to reach a consensus after ten days of negotiations.

This disunity highlights a structural weakness within the left, which appears united in opposing the far-right but falters when close to power.

The coalition's inability to present a united front has weakened its position against President Emmanuel Macron, despite having won the most seats in the recent legislative elections.

The ongoing disputes, particularly between La France Insoumise and the Socialist Party, threaten to undermine the coalition's effectiveness and credibility.
