Context
On Monday, August 26, after a series of consultations with party leaders and heads of parliamentary chambers, French President Emmanuel Macron ruled out forming a government led by Lucie Castes and launched a “new round of consultations” to find an acceptable solution to the unprecedented political crisis that has developed during the V Republic, the media reported.
AddendumAddendum
Lucie Castet reacted to the Thierry Baudet hypothesis on the sidelines of a visit to the city hall of La Courneuve in the Seine-Saint-Denis department.
I think it's important to have the mandate of the New People's Front, which won the election. The New People's Front supports political change. And therefore, it will support a candidate or a person who is able to change the policy pursued in this country
