France continues to sink even deeper into a political deadlock that could bring chaos to the country.
President Emmanuel Macron has said he will not agree to a government led by the leftist New Popular Front alliance, which won a majority in last month's legislative elections.
The head of the Elysée seeks institutional stability and claims that the left cannot win the vote of confidence in the Parliament.
The New Popular Front, which nominated unknown civil servant Lucie Castets as its candidate for prime minister, has called for mass demonstrations against the President's decision as they demand Macron's impeachment.
The rejection of the candidate brings France to zero. For this, Macron announced that he will hold new consultations with party leaders and called on the left to cooperate with other political forces.
The President's party came second in the July elections. No political grouping was able to win an outright majority, with the New Popular Front taking 190 MPs, Macron's party 160 seats and the National Front with 140 lawmakers in the new Parliament.
The four-party coalition won a majority of seats in last month's parliamentary election and the BBC said its candidate, Paris civil servant Lucie Castets, should be named prime minister, even though they did not have a majority.
Macron called on the Socialists, Greens and Communists to work with "other political forces" to find a way out of the impasse, without mentioning the radical left France Unboëd, which won a majority of seats.
However, all three parties refused to accept his offer. Socialist leader Olivier Faure said he was a "collaborator of democracy". Marine Tondelier of the Greens said that her party would not continue this circus, this fake consultation.
Macron's term in office runs until 2027 and the French government tends to be formed by the president's party as parliamentary elections usually follow a presidential vote. But that changed when he called early parliamentary elections this summer.
A caretaker government has led France since the July 7 vote, including during the Paris Olympics, to the anger of the NFP alliance.
" My responsibility is that the country is not blocked or weakened ," Macron said after the first round of talks on Monday evening.
" The Socialist Party, the Greens and the Communists have not yet proposed ways to cooperate with other political forces. Now it is up to them to do so ," he added.
