France\u2019s far-right leader Marine Le Pen said Wednesday she would thwart all action by any new government, throwing into doubt Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu\u2019s ability to solve the country\u2019s deepening political crisis with a coalition cabinet.<\/p>\n
President Emmanuel Macron is facing the worst domestic crisis of his mandate, with the clock ticking down to a deadline Wednesday evening for a working government to be formed.<\/p>\n
Macron has to decide whether to appoint another prime minister or dissolve the lower house of parliament and call new legislative elections.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lecornu, who resigned in a shock move on Monday, arrived at the Elysee Palace on Wednesday evening to report to Macron on his efforts to find cross-party compromise to pull the country out of the crisis.<\/p>\n
He is set to interviewed on French television\u00a0at\u00a01800 GMT.<\/p>\n
Macron himself had no plans to speak or issue a statement on Wednesday evening, sources told AFP.<\/p>\n
France has been mired in political deadlock ever since Macron took the gamble last year of snap elections he had hoped would consolidate power. Instead, they ended in a hung parliament and more seats for the far right.<\/p>\n
Le Pen\u2019s far-right National Rally \u2014 the single biggest party in parliament \u2014 has urged Macron to call new snap polls, or resign.<\/p>\n
Earlier Wednesday, she pledged to make the life of any new cabinet impossible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI vote against everything,\u201d the three-time presidential candidate said, after her group refused to take part in talks to end the crisis.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a livestock fair in central France, she compared French political life to a \u201crodeo\u201d.<\/p>\n
Their idea is \u201chow long can I hold on while the horse tries to throw me off?\u201d the 57-year-old said.<\/p>\n
Le Pen\u2019s anti-immigration party senses its best ever chance of winning power in the next presidential elections due in 2027, with Macron barred from running.<\/p>\n
Since the snap 2024 vote, the legislative chamber has toppled two prime ministers in a standoff over next year\u2019s austerity budget.<\/p>\n
Lecornu resigned on Monday after criticism of his new cabinet line-up.<\/p>\n
But with public debt at an all-time high, Macron convinced him to stay on until Wednesday evening to try to break the impasse.<\/p>\n
After meeting centrists and right-wing politicians, Lecornu said on Wednesday morning there had been consensus so far on \u201ca desire to have a budget for France before December 31\u201d.<\/p>\n
He also reported a \u201cconvergence that pushes back the prospect of dissolution\u201d of parliament, before meeting left-wing leaders.<\/p>\n
If Lecornu cannot reach a solution, Macron said on Monday that he would \u201cassume his responsibilities\u201d, apparently referring to early parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
It was not clear if the Socialists, a key swing group in parliament, would be on board with any compromise.<\/p>\n
Leaving the premier\u2019s office, Socialist party leader Olivier Faure seemed disillusioned a deal would not include scrapping a deeply unpopular 2023 pensions reform.<\/p>\n
Former prime minister Elizabeth Borne, now outgoing education minister, had said late Tuesday it could be on the table.<\/p>\n
The measure to raise the age of retirement from 62 to 64, which she passed through parliament without a vote by using a controversial constitutional power, sparked months of angry protests.<\/p>\n
Macron is under huge pressure to end the protracted crisis, even from his former allies.<\/p>\n
Macron\u2019s former prime minister Edouard Philippe on Tuesday said early presidential polls should be held as soon as a budget was passed.<\/p>\n
Macron, who was first elected in 2017, has repeatedly said he would serve until the end of his second term.<\/p>\n
Le Pen is currently barred from standing in elections due to a corruption conviction that she is appealing.<\/p>\n
But her anti-immigration National Rally leads voting intentions for a possible early presidential election, regardless of its candidate, a new poll published on Wednesday suggested.<\/p>\n
The far-right party\u00a0would come out well ahead in the first round, according to the Toluna Harris Interactive poll for broadcaster RTL.<\/p>\n
If Le Pen\u2019s protege 30-year-old\u00a0Jordan Bardella ran,\u00a0he would win 35 percent of the vote, followed by former centrist prime minister Edouard Phillipe with 16 percent.<\/p>\n
The poll of 1,289 people was carried out on Tuesday with a margin of error of between 1.4 and 3.1 points.<\/p>\n
Macron\u2019s domestic isolation contrasts with his visibility on the international stage.<\/p>\n
Last month he recognised Palestinian statehood and he is seeking to end Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine together with US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
