Macron Faces Impeachment Threat from Far-Left Party

French President Emmanuel Macron faces potential impeachment proceedings from the far-left party La France Insoumise (LFI) for allegedly committing an 'institutional coup against democracy' by refusing to appoint a leftist candidate as Prime Minister following the recent legislative elections. LFI leaders, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon, claim Macron's actions disregard the electoral outcome, where their coalition emerged as the largest but without an outright majority. Macron previously rejected the candidacy of Lucie Castets, arguing she couldn't garner sufficient support in parliament, which has left the government in a caretaker state for over a month. The party warns that all constitutional means will be employed to remove him if he does not respect the will of the voters. Meanwhile, the Socialist party has distanced itself from LFI's threats, indicating that impeachment is impractical due to the required legislative support. Macron is scheduled to consult with political leaders to discuss the new Prime Minister, yet observers doubt a leftist will be appointed.
