New French government returns ministers from short-lived predecessor

The article discusses France's attempt to form a new government to resolve a political deadlock following a recent snap election that resulted in a hung parliament. President Emmanuel Macron, after dissolving the National Assembly in June, saw his centrist alliance lose its majority, leading to a situation where no single political group has enough seats to govern alone. The left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) emerged as the largest bloc, but internal disagreements, particularly over the choice of prime minister, have stalled government formation. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal resigned but was asked to stay on temporarily. The NFP has been unable to agree on a candidate for prime minister, with suggestions like Huguette Bello being floated but not universally accepted within the coalition. This ongoing political impasse has raised concerns about France's ability to address urgent issues like economic recovery and social unrest, with potential implications for the country's stability and its role in European and global politics.
