French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday evening his plans to appoint a new prime minister in the coming days. This decision comes at a time when Macron is grappling with declining support within the National Assembly.
Shen Wei from the School of Public Affairs at Zhejiang University highlights that the lack of unity and diminished confidence in Macron's leadership are major hurdles in the appointment process. Without strong backing from the Assembly, finding a prime minister who can effectively navigate France's political landscape is proving difficult.
This political uncertainty could have significant implications for France's policy direction and its ability to implement key reforms. As Macron works to secure the necessary support, all eyes are on the National Assembly and the potential candidates who could step into the role of prime minister.
