France’s left-wing New Popular Front coalition, which won the most seats in parliament in this month’s election, said it had agreed to nominate Nos public services representative Lucie Castets as its candidate for President Emmanuel Macron’s prime minister.
In a joint statement, the four parties in the front said Castets was a public servant who worked to combat tax and financial fraud.
The proposal by the left-wing parties was made public shortly before the interview scheduled to be given by French President Emmanuel Macron to French television stations.
