On the eve of a meeting with the president, the force that won the most deputies in last month’s legislative elections underlined, in a letter to the French people, their criticism of the head of state, who has not yet appointed a replacement prime minister for the resigned Gabriel Attal.

Macron accepted on July 16 the resignation of Attal and his entire cabinet after the officialism setbacks in the European elections of June and the legislative elections that followed, however, he asked everyone to remain in their posts with basic functions until the replacement is appointed.

The New Popular Front, made up of socialists, unsub missives, ecologists and communists, managed to send 193 deputies to the National Assembly, the largest number of all the lists, although far from the absolute majority set at 289, a triumph for which it claims the right to propose the prime minister.

The missive of the Left and its candidate to Matignon assures the French people that they are ready to govern, reiterating their demand to the President of the Republic to let them form a government.

In this regard, it recalls that it was the New Popular Front that won the most seats in the lower house, even though it fell short of an absolute majority.

As in all parliamentary democracies, the coalition that ends up in the lead must have the right to form a government, warned the signatories, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, the coordinator of La France Insoumise, Manuel Bompard, the national secretaries of the Communists, Fabien Roussel, and the ecologists, Marine Tondelier, and Castets.

Macron summoned the leaders of parties and parliamentary groups to consultations at the Elysee Palace starting tomorrow to overcome the prevailing political crisis.

The left-wing representatives will be the first to talk with the president, who is being pressured by his camp for a rightward tilt in the nomination of the new prime minister.
