Lucie Castets, the candidate from the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP), is at the center of a political storm as she seeks to become France's next Prime Minister.

Despite the NFP's narrow victory in the legislative elections, President Emmanuel Macron remains hesitant to appoint Castets, citing no clear winner in the elections.

Castets, backed by a coalition of left-wing parties, is set to meet Macron to discuss her candidacy and the NFP's agenda, which includes reversing the pension reform and addressing public service issues.

However, internal tensions within the left-wing alliance and the looming threat of a Macron-compatible Prime Minister pose significant challenges.

As the political consultations continue, the NFP's unity and future remain uncertain, with potential fractures threatening to unravel the coalition.
