In a significant political standoff, La France Insoumise (LFI) has refused to attend consultations at the Élysée Palace for the appointment of a new Prime Minister.

LFI's leader, Manuel Bompard, emphasized their commitment to their electoral program and rejected any negotiations with President Emmanuel Macron's government.

This decision follows the recent censure of Michel Barnier's government, which LFI supported, citing opposition to policies they deem unjust.

Meanwhile, the Socialist Party and other left-wing groups are open to discussions, seeking a compromise to resolve the political impasse.

The Ecologists and Communists have agreed to meet with Macron, advocating for a Prime Minister from the left.

The political landscape remains tense as parties navigate this unprecedented situation.
