  • Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure stressed he would not support a right-wing prime minister. The resignation of Prime Minister Barnier following a no-confidence vote has reignited French political uncertainty.

The article from MSN discusses the French Socialist Party's openness to supporting a new government following the recent political upheaval in France. After President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called for snap elections due to the far-right National Rally's gains in the European Parliament elections, the political landscape has been in flux. The Socialist Party, led by figures like Olivier Faure, has indicated a willingness to collaborate with other left-wing parties to form a coalition government. This move aims to counter the rising influence of the far-right and to stabilize the political situation. The Socialists are considering backing a government that would likely be led by a centrist or left-leaning figure, focusing on policies that address social justice, economic inequality, and environmental issues, thereby attempting to prevent a far-right government from taking power.
