Macron Blocks Left-Wing Government Formation Amid Persistent Deadlock

French President Emmanuel Macron has ruled out naming a left-wing government to resolve the country's ongoing political deadlock. This decision comes after Macron's talks with far-right leader Marine Le Pen and despite the left-wing coalition, comprising France Unbowed (LFI), Socialists, Communists, and Greens, securing the most seats in the parliamentary election. Macron has been searching for a new prime minister since the July elections, but has not considered a left-wing government, instead dismissing the idea.
