Centrist Yael Braun-Pivet Re-elected as French National Assembly Speaker

Yael Braun-Pivet narrowly won re-election after three rounds of voting, supported by centrists and conservatives.
The National Assembly remains divided among three major blocs: Macron's centrists, the New Popular Front, and the far-right National Rally.
Macron has called for a coalition of pro-EU parties, excluding the far-right and far-left, to form a government.
The New Popular Front, holding the most seats, is struggling to unite behind a single prime ministerial candidate.
Outgoing Prime Minister Gabriel Attal continues in a caretaker role as France awaits a new government.
