PARIS (AP) 鈥
French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday he will wait for the country's political parties to build a "Republican" majority at the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Assembly before he can decide on a new prime minister, after no party won a majority in .
Macron's comment came in a letter published by several French media outlets as political leaders of various parties have been trying to project themselves as the only solution to the current political turmoil after the inconclusive results.
鈥淣obody has won,鈥 said Macron in the letter. 鈥淣o political force has obtained a sufficient majority on its own and the blocs or coalitions that emerge from these elections are all in the minority,鈥 he said.
Macron asked parties who adhere to 鈥渞epublican institutions, the rule of law, parliamentary norms, a (pro-)European orientation and the defense of French independence鈥 to build a compromise.
鈥淚t is in the light of these principles that I will decide on the appointment of the prime minister,鈥 Macron said. 鈥淯ntil then, the current government will continue to exercise its responsibilities and will be in charge of current affairs.鈥
A leftist coalition, the New Popular Front, won more seats than other groups, pushing the far-right 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Rally into third place. Macron's centrist alliance came second.
The outcome has left France with the unprecedented prospect of a hung parliament and political paralysis.
Outside the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Assembly, Laurent Wauquiez, the leader of the Les Republicains conservatives in the new parliament, said Wednesday his party will introduce a no-confidence vote to try to bring down any government that includes a member from the far-left France Unbowed party, which is part of the New Popular Front bloc.
鈥淲e won鈥檛 let them attain power,鈥 he said.
Many lawmakers of the New Popular Front insist that, as the largest group in parliament, the prime minister should come out of their ranks.
Macron called the surprise snap election after the anti-immigration 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Rally made huge gains in the June 9 European elections 鈥 a risky gamble in the hope that French voters would block the far-right party as they always had in the past.
