Emmanuel Macron will appoint a new head of government today to address the political crisis in France, thus postponing the early elections.

President Emmanuel Macron will appoint a new prime minister on Friday to pull France out of the political deadlock caused by the absence of a majority in parliament. This follows the resignation of Sebastien Lecornu, who managed a failed austerity budget. Macron will meet with party leaders, except for those on the far right, and it is speculated that he may opt for a technocratic government. The crisis has led to criticism from former allies, and Marine Le Pen promises to oppose the new measures.
