French President Emmanuel Macron is refusing to name a new prime minister and government led by the progressive New Popular Front coalition, launching a fresh round of talks while France remains at a political impasse. The New Popular Front coalition, which quickly came together to stave off a possible far-right victory, gained the largest number of seats in July’s legislative elections — a snap election called by Macron. The leftist France Unbowed party, a member of the New Popular Front, is calling for mass demonstrations on September 7.
