Part 4/9:
Leaders like Jean-Luc Mélenchon, representing one of the left’s largest opposition parties, have made it clear that Barnier's appointment was a political misstep. The left-wing block, which has transformed into the New Popular Front, was rejected by voters not in favor of economically conservative policies but instead as a call for compromise and a shift away from Macron’s political line. This discontent has now culminated in attempts to oust Barnier and question Macron’s strategies.
