"I am angry, like millions of voters" – the French left calls for 150 protests
The French left is calling for 150 demonstrations across the country on Saturday against what they call "Macron's coup" - the president's appointment of conservative Michel Barnier as prime minister. This is reported by the French media.
- I am very angry, just as I think millions of French voters are, says the candidate of the left alliance Lucie Castets according to the radio station RMC.
As the largest alliance after the election, the left claimed the post, despite the fact that a left-led government would likely be overthrown directly by the National Assembly. Now the left criticizes the government's dependence on the far-right party.

Barnier opens for the left in coalition - but is dependent on the extreme right
France's new Prime Minister Michel Barnier promises to prioritize migration and a reform of the pension system. He says this on the TV channel TF1 info on Friday evening in his first appearance after taking office.
In the formation of the government, the conservative Barnier wants to include President Emmanuel Macron's center party, and is also open to ministers from the left coalition. He has also promised to "respect the votes" of those who voted for the far-right National Assembly.
He has to, because it is the largest single party since the new election last summer and can bring down the government. The party has regretted the election of Barnier, but intends to wait and see, says deputy party leader Sébastien Chenu to France 24.
Marine Le Pen has previously said that the party does not intend to sit in a government led by Barnier.
