France’s president says delay is to avoid disorder, after leftist coalition announces Lucie Castet as its pick to become PM
His announcement in a TV interview came shortly after tselected little-known civil servant Lucie Castets as their choice for prime minister.
There is no firm timeline for when Macron must name a new prime minister. The parliamentary elections left the National Assembly with no dominant political bloc in power for the first time in France’s modern republic. Castets, a senior civil servant, graduated from Sciences Po, the London School of Economics, and the École Nationale d’Administration. She has worked at the general directorate of the treasury and Tracfin, the anti-money laundering unit of Bercy.
Marine Tondelier, the national secretary of the Green party, urged Macron on X to “recognise the result of the elections and appoint her” to Matignon, shorthand for the residence of the prime minister.
