Macron Faces Deadlock as Talks to Form New Government Stall Amid Party Disagreements

French President Emmanuel Macron has been struggling to form a government after the July elections, which resulted in a hung parliament. Macron has been holding talks with party leaders to break the deadlock, but so far, no agreement has been reached. The left opposition has demanded power, while the hard right has vowed to block them. Macron has ruled out naming a left-wing government, despite the left coalition holding the most seats in parliament. The president has also rejected right-wing claims to govern, after talks with far-right leader Marine Le Pen. Macron's decision to refuse a left-wing prime minister has been met with anger and threats of impeachment from some quarters.
