Well, Macron doesn’t seem to be eager to pick Melanchon instead of Attal. Well, the result from left to right is 182-163-143 edition.cnn.com/… . Macron did not accept the resignation of Attal but instead prolonged Attal’s tenure without his approval. www.sudouest.fr/… Melanchon has pretty good press www.lefigaro.fr/… but that doesn’t seem to suffice for Macron. Macron has obviously the problem that the olympic games are upcoming from july 26th onwards and that he doesn’t like to have some disorderly fashion conducting the operations like Melanchon. I mean of course he will be new to the office but why did Macron call for a snap election in the first place? He got the result, it is a clear victory for NFP and now he doesn’t stick to the immediacy but declares some olympic fallout state that is incompatible to his own immediacy.

The verdict of the polls spoke on Sunday, but the uncertainties remain more than ever. Neither the New Popular Front (around 190 seats), nor the presidential camp (around 160 seats), nor the RN and its allies (more than 140 seats) can reach, alone, the 289 deputies necessary for an absolute majority.
Three weeks before the Paris Olympic Games, outgoing Prime Minister Gabriel Attal submitted his resignation in the morning to Emmanuel Macron, who logically refused it to “ensure the stability of the country”.
This process of appointing a new Prime Minister could take a long time, pending a hypothetical agreement between several political forces on a candidate for Matignon and on a program. Unless the head of state opts for a technical government on the Italian model, or on his outgoing team to handle current affairs in the short term.
