French President Emmanuel Macron is still in the process of consulting with different political groups to select the next prime minister, nearly two months after the election. The country has been led by a caretaker administration since July, with no grouping winning a majority. Speculation is rife about Macron’s choice, with the leftwing NFP proposing Lucie Castets, but Macron ruling her out. Right-wing politician Eric Ciotti has opposed Xavier Bertrand, and reports suggest Macron is considering Bertrand or former Socialist prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve for the role. Macron will hold more consultations today with various political figures. The country awaits the announcement of the new prime minister as Macron navigates the complex political landscape.
