President Macron rejected the left-wing coalition's choice for Prime Minister, Lucie Castets, leading to uncertainty in the government formation process.
Macron expressed that he won't appoint a new government until mid-August at the earliest, maintaining the current cabinet in a caretaker role during the Paris Summer Olympics.
