Paris — According to an interview with AFP, French President Emmanuel Macron is about to appoint a new government in early July, probably including members outside his party.
Macron urged Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne to propose a new "government of action" next weekend, confirming her confidence in Borne in the long run, AFP said in a Twitter post. ..
The president rejected Bourne's offer to resign on Tuesday. This was triggered by a severe defeat in an election that lost an absolute majority in Congress last week.
According to an interview, Macron has not abandoned the planned pension reform, he said, "working as long as all neighbors."
Another reform will focus on "full employment".
Under pressure to make a compromise, Macron sought to reach out to his political opponents and asked the fragmented parliament to come up with ideas for legislation. (Report by Mimosa Spencer, edited by Daniel Wallis and Chizu Nomiyama)
