PARIS: President Emmanuel Macron will convene a meeting of France’s mainstream political parties on Friday ahead of a self-imposed deadline to name a new prime minister, as the country’s central bank chief warned political turmoil was sapping economic growth. Macron, 47, is searching for his sixth prime minister in under two years and will need to find a figure whose appeal spans the center-right to center-left in order to steer the budget for 2026 through a fragmented and fractious parliament.

Government spokesperson says it may be ‘last chance’ for politicians to regain credibility and cut risk of far right taking power
