French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Wednesday that he will wait for the country's political parties to establish a 'Republican' majority at the National Assembly before selecting a new prime minister. This decision follows the inconclusive results of Sunday's legislative elections, where no party secured a majority.
In a letter published by various French media outlets, Macron emphasized the need for a coalition that upholds 'republican institutions, the rule of law, parliamentary norms, a (pro-)European orientation, and the defense of French independence.' He highlighted the absence of a clear winner in the elections, stating that no political force had garnered a sufficient majority.
