"The first thing Lucie Castets intends to do as France's next prime minister is to peel back the age of retirement to 62 and pour more money into healthcare and education."
"We are in a somewhat Kafkaesque, surreal situation, where a candidate for the post of prime minister is campaigning for a job that she cannot exercise, says Remi Lefebvre, a professor of political science."
"Since the elections ended in deadlock, with neither left, right nor center winning a majority, France remains intractably stuck and without a new prime minister."
"Mr. Macron has shown no sign he plans to tap Lucie Castets for the position, causing a delay in the formation of a new government and continued political uncertainty."
