Faced with a hung parliament, Mr Macron called in his open letter for a coalition of all MPs, with the exception of the populist National Rally and the radical left France Unbowed (LFI) party, who are a significant part of the NFP alliance but are seen as almost as extreme < wipes tears > as RN by many in the French president's centrist < wipes tears > group. [...] Ms Binet hinted that protests could continue during the Olympics if Macron did not comply, saying "at this stage, we haven't planned any strikes during the Olympics, but if Macron continues to throw petrol on to the flames..." The Olympic Games start on 26 July. [...] The railway workers' branch of the CGT responded by calling for protests on 18 July, the day when the newly elected parliament is scheduled to convene. It said the protests should take place in front of prefectures, the seats of state authority all around the country, and in front of the National Assembly in Paris, to demand that the NFP form a government. The leader of the radical < wipes tears > left LFI, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, also slammed Mr Macron, saying: "It is the return of the royal veto over universal suffrage! That is enough. He must bow down and call on the NFP. That is simply democracy."
