Description
France's Jean-Luc Mélenchon cautions that he asked the French people to "give him a majority of deputies" to be "Prime Minister" in June's elections, and says he did not ask Emmanuel Macron to "appoint" him.
With 22% of the votes from the French presidential election, France Unbowed (La France Insoumise, Eds.) leader Melenchon has held discussions for more than a week with the Greens (EELV), Communist Party (PCF) and the NPA (New Anticapitalist Party, Eds.), and since Wednesday with the Socialist Party (PS), in a bid to boost his prime ministerial ambitions.
