LIVE – New government: Macron is “unable to count himself among those responsible for the crisis”, deplores Glucksmann

Emmanuel Macron receives several political leaders on Friday ranging from the PS to the LR including those from his own camp with a view to the formation of“a government of general interest” after the censorship of Michel Barnier on Wednesday. The head of state, who said he was looking for a “arch of government”tried Thursday evening to regain control during a televised speech, where he promised the appointment of a new prime minister “in the coming days”.

At the start of the morning he will receive the leaders of the Macronist camp (Renaissance, MoDem, Horizons, Radicaux, UDI), then at noon the heads of the socialist deputies Boris Vallaud and his Senate counterpart Patrick Kanner, as well as the party leader Olivier Faure. At the start of the afternoon, it will be the turn of the LR leaders. The announcement of the name of a new head of government is not expected before the weekend, or even Monday, and even more time should be required to know the composition of his new team.
