Paris, August 26— President Emmanuel Macron has declined an offer from a left-wing coalition to form a government in an effort to resolve France's ongoing political impasse. The decision, announced on Monday, has sparked strong criticism from leftist groups, who are now considering the possibility of proposing an impeachment motion against Macron.
Macron defended his decision by arguing that a left-wing government would lack stability. The left-wing coalition, composed of France Unbowed (LFI), Socialists, Communists, and Greens, secured the most seats in the recent elections, winning 190 out of the 577 seats in the National Assembly. In comparison, the coalition led by Macron's party won 160 seats, while right-wing parties secured 140 seats.
The Green Party has expressed disappointment over Macron's decision, accusing him of disregarding the election results. Meanwhile, the LFI is exploring the option of bringing an impeachment motion against Macron.
The Left Alliance insists on its right to form the government, claiming that both Macron's coalition and the far-right are attempting to block them. Should the left manage to form a government, they anticipate a no-confidence motion from the opposing parties.
Macron responded by stating that he is unwilling to appoint a prime minister who might not withstand a no-confidence vote in parliament, further escalating the political tension in France.
