France's President Emmanuel Macron believes that the complicated government issue can be resolved within the next few days. Macron said in connection with talks with the political parties on Tuesday afternoon that a new government can be appointed "within 48 hours".
Several party leaders gathered at the President's Élysée Palace for consultations.
Macron did not invite the far-right party National Rally and the left-wing party Unsubmissive France.
The government and the country's conservative Prime Minister Michel Barnier fell last week after losing a vote of no confidence.
Dissatisfaction with the government has been great on both sides since Michel Barnier and the ministers took office just three months ago. But what triggered the no-confidence vote is that Barnier forced through the social insurance budget with an exception rule because he could not get enough support for it in parliament.
