French President Emmanuel Macron is embroiled in a political standoff as he consults with various political factions to appoint a new Prime Minister.

After meeting with leaders from the left and right, Macron engaged with far-right representatives, including Marine Le Pen, who vowed to oppose any left-leaning government.

The Republican party, allied with the far-right, also expressed opposition to a Prime Minister from the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP).

Despite these consultations, no consensus has been reached, and further discussions may be necessary.

Macron's strategy has been criticized as an attempt to maintain stability, yet it has led to political tension and uncertainty.

The situation reflects broader dissatisfaction with Macron's leadership, as voters have increasingly supported parties opposing his policies.
