After almost two months of waiting, President Emmanuel Macron has finally chosen a new prime minister: the conservative Michel Barnier. With this decision, Macron hopes that the centre-right that supports him in the legislature can join forces with Barnier’s party, Les Républiques, to strengthen itself. But, on the other hand, the left-wing bloc New Popular Front (NFP) considers it a betrayal of the voters because the prime minister is not from any of the four parties in the alliance, despite the fact that it received the most votes in the legislative elections. Did Macron betray the left? We analyse it in El Debate.
