French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with Agence France-Presse that he had asked Prime Minister Elizabeth Born to form a new “labor government” to be announced in early July.
The report said Macron had confirmed his long-term confidence in Bourne.
Macron on Tuesday rejected Born’s offer to resign following a shock election defeat last week in which he lost his outright majority in parliament.
Under pressure to compromise, Macron has sought to reach out to political opponents, asking them to put forward ideas in a divided parliament to help enact legislation.
