According to Mr. Macron, the left was unable to secure a vote of confidence in the parliament and France required institutional stability.
In reaction, the NFP demanded public demonstrations and the impeachment of Mr. Macron. Lucie Castets, a relatively obscure civil servant, was presented as the party’s prime minister candidate.
After his centrists lost out in July, Mr. Macron announced on Tuesday that he would begin fresh talks with party leaders and pushed the left to work with other political groups.
With the NFP getting almost 190 seats, Mr. Macron’s centrist Ensemble alliance gaining 160, and the far-right National Rally (RN) gaining 140, no single party was able to secure a majority in the elections.
The NFP was incensed by the caretaker government that has led France since then, particularly during the Paris Olympics.
Since the election, Mr. Macron has been holding talks on forming a new administration and has declared that he will keep doing so.
In his remarks on Monday, he stated, “My responsibility is that the country is not blocked nor weakened.”
The Communists, Greens, and Socialist Party have not yet put forth suggestions for how to work with other political parties. The onus is now on them to comply,” he continued.
