France will continue to adhere to all international obligations: Macron

Within the NATO jubilee summit in Washington, French President Emmanuel Macron met with journalists and answered questions related to the country's internal political life.

 

"France will continue to adhere to all international obligations, be it support for Europe, the North Atlantic Alliance or Ukraine. The fact is that the political forces with the majority in the National Assembly agree to it, and those who would like to revise those priorities could not form a majority," Macron said.

 

Returning from Washington, the French President held a meeting at the Elysée Palace, during which he announced that he would accept Gabriel Attal's resignation on July 16. It is assumed that he will lead the 'Renaissance' faction of the presidential party in the parliament, writes Euronews.

 

The left-wing New Popular Front, which won the second round of the French National Assembly snap elections, is holding consultations on the issue of the Prime Minister candidate. On Friday, the communists belonging to the left alliance proposed the candidacy of the head of the Reunion district council, Huguette Bello.

 

The third-placed ultra-rights have already announced that if even one member of the far-left Invincible France or Greens party is included in the government proposed by the left, they will not support the government during the vote. The same, but only in the case of Invincible France, announced the representatives of the pro-presidential forces that took the second place.

 

Yesterday, Emmanuel Macron addressed his fellow citizens and political parties in an open letter, calling for the creation of a broad republican coalition.
