Protest Against Macron's Choice Of Michel Banier As Prime Minister

The cardboard on the left reads 'We vote, we win, it's up to us to govern' and the one on the right reads 'Emmanuel to the trash bin'. Between 5,000 and 8,000 protesters march in Toulouse, France, on September 7, 2024, and in cities across France to protest against Macron's choice of Michel Barnier (conservative) as prime minister. Left parties call this protest to remind President Macron that the first coalition elected in June in the French Parliament is the New Popular Front. Leftist parties accuse the president of ignoring election results. The left, led by LFI, accuses Macron of a denial of democracy and stealing the election after Macron refuses to pick the candidate of the New Popular Front (NFP) alliance that comes top in the July vote. The left and the far-left unionize in a new umbrella called 'Nouveau Front Populaire' (i.e., 'New Popular Front'). President Emmanuel Macron calls a snap legislative election in June and is defeated. The new prime minister will try to govern with a coalition of Macronist and center-right. The RN (far right) says it will judge on pieces. Similar protests (130) take place elsewhere in France.
