The choice of "prime minister" by Macron has stirred up France! Thousands of people are on the streets.

The appointment of a right-wing figure as prime minister by French President Emmanuel Macron instead of the winning left alliance has stirred up the streets in the country. Thousands of people organized protest demonstrations in many locations across the country.

MACRON DID NOT APPOINT THE WINNING LEFT CANDIDATE AS PRIME MINISTER

The appointment of former European Union (EU) Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as prime minister by French President Emmanuel Macron after a long-standing political crisis in the country has caused a crisis. Despite the left alliance winning the election, the appointment of Michel Barnier, the candidate of the center-right, as prime minister has received backlash.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TOOK TO THE STREETS

Following the call for protests by labor unions and left-wing political parties, thousands of people took to the streets across the country today. Demonstrations are being held in 130 different locations, including cities such as Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, and Nice. In the protests, some protesters carried Palestinian flags and chanted slogans such as "rejection of democracy" and "stolen election".

EARLY ELECTIONS THAT CAUSED A CRISIS IN FRANCE

The success of the far-right National Rally Party (RN) in the European Parliament elections in France led President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly and call for early elections. In the first round of the early general elections held on June 30, the 28-year-old National Rally Party became the first party with 33.15% of the votes, while the left-wing New People's Front alliance consisting of La France Insoumise (LFI), the Green Party (EEVL), the Socialist Party (PS), and the French Communist Party (PCF) won the election in the second round held on July 7. However, no party was able to secure a majority in the assembly.

The New People's Front, which came first in the elections, nominated Lucie Castets as the prime minister candidate, but Macron stated that it was not possible for Castets to gain a vote of confidence in the National Assembly and refused to appoint her as prime minister. On September 5, Macron decided to appoint Michel Barnier from the center-right Republicans (LR) Party as prime minister.

Meanwhile, after being elected as prime minister, Michel Barnier stated that he is open to forming a government that includes politicians from all sides, including left-wing politicians. -
