Five days after the government censorship of Michel Barnier, President Emmanuel Macron resumes consultations on December 9. Macron is set to meet with independent deputies from the Liot group, ecologist leaders led by Marine Tondelier, and communists around Fabien Roussel. Meanwhile, his camp is urging him to make decisions quickly regarding the next Prime Minister, with names like François Bayrou and Bernard Cazeneuve surfacing. Jean-Luc Mélenchon issues a warning to the Socialists regarding agreements with Macron, threatening to continue the New Popular Front without them.
