LIVE – New government: when will the name of the future Prime Minister be revealed?

Emmanuel Macron will meet this Friday with several political leaders from the left and the right

Emmanuel Macron receives, this Friday, several political leaders 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 an “arc of government”, tried Thursday evening to regain control during a televised speech.

At the start of the morning he will receive the leaders of the Macronist camp (Renaissance, MoDem, Horizons, Radicaux, UDI), then at midday the head 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 National Rally, France Insoumise, the Ecologists and the Communists have not been invited to the Elysée at this stage, fueling speculation about a possible attempt to drive a wedge within the left-wing New Front alliance popular.
