Emmanuel Macron will name a new prime minister by Friday evening, his office has said, hinting at the president’s hopes that a sixth prime minister in less than two years will manage to steer a budget through France’s deeply fragmented parliament.
“This might be the last chance,” the government spokesperson Aurore Bergé told RTL radio on Thursday. “I believe this is the last chance for politicians to regain credibility ... all of this is only strengthening the chances and capabilities of the far right to take power.”
