The NFP, particularly the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI), has demanded for their right to form a government. The party argued that since it won the most seats, it should pick the new prime minister. It has chosen Lucie Castets, 37, as its candidate.

However, Macron’s party, along with the conservatives and the far right, have promised to vote no confidence in a left-wing government.

Typical liberal rejecting any shift to the left in favour of fascists.

It's great that the LFI managed to come this far even within a liberal framework, but real change has only ever come from organizing and applying pressure from outside the capitalist system to overthrow it. This should be a signal to french comrades to start organizing for that.
