In a nation gripped by political turmoil, French President Emmanuel Macron is set to appoint a new prime minister on Friday, marking a critical juncture in his administration's attempt to overcome a persistent political deadlock.

The appointment, viewed as Macron's last viable opportunity to reinvigorate his leadership, comes amidst mounting economic challenges and dwindling parliamentary support, with his second term at an apparent impasse.

Outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's sudden resignation earlier this week underscored the deepening crisis, as France grapples with soaring debt and social tensions. The move has intensified scrutiny on Macron's leadership and heightened uncertainty regarding France's future political direction.
