The leaders of the hard-left party France Unbowed (LFI) have accused President Emmanuel Macron of an "institutional coup against democracy" for refusing to appoint a left-wing prime minister.

In a column published on Sunday, the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party threatened legal action against Macron if he failed to appoint a prime minister from the left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front (NFP), in the coming days.

The French president, who has the power to appoint the leader of the government, has agreed that Lucie Castets should be present during the discussions but has ruled her out for the position.

 

Regardless, the LFI's threat of impeachment is unlikely to succeed amid divided ranks. the Socialist Party which is part of the NFP coalition, has rejected the threat of an impeachment procedure.
