Macron Says He Won’t Name a New Prime Minister Before Mid-August

French President Emmanuel Macron said he won’t pick a new prime minister before the end of the Olympic games, doubling down on his call for a political truce following weeks of turmoil.

“Until mid-August, we must focus on the games,” Macron said in a live interview on French TV on Tuesday evening, meaning the caretaker administration will be kept in place. “From then on, depending on the progress of the discussions, it will be my responsibility to appoint a prime minister and to entrust him or her with the task of forming a government.”
