| Description | Left-wing French parties said Tuesday they had chosen a little-known economist as prospective prime minister, after butting heads for weeks over a name since winning snap elections.
The New Popular Front (NFP) pick Lucie Castets is an economist and senior civil servant with a background in "fighting tax evasion and financial crime" as well as campaigning for public services, the alliance said in a statement.
Working for the Paris city government, Castets is a total unknown to the wider public.
Although the consensus appears to put an end to infighting in the fractious grouping of Socialists, Greens, Communists and hard-left France Unbowed (LFI), hurdles remain before Castets can be installed at the head of a possible new left-wing government. |
