In a surprising turn of events, Olivier Faure, the leader of the French Socialist Party, has emerged as a potential candidate for Prime Minister.
Following recent legislative elections, the New Popular Front (NFP), a left-wing coalition, became the largest group in the National Assembly.
However, with no party securing an absolute majority, France faces a complex political landscape.
Socialists argue that Faure is the logical choice for Prime Minister, given the NFP's leading position and the need for a candidate acceptable to various factions.
This development marks a significant shift in French politics, potentially ending the dominance of President Macron's party and reshaping the country's governance.
