A leading commentator on French politics has spoken to FRANCE 24 about how France's political crisis has not yet been solved, but there do seem to be "potential routes forward". French President Emmanuel Macron has confirmed that he will name a fourth prime minister in just over a year before Friday night. France is now moving away from the likelihood of snap parliamentary elections. Outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu appeared on national television last night where he said a way forward is possible, pointing potentially to Macron appointing a more left-wing prime minister to see if that could provide the stability needed. In Perspective, we spoke to Andrew Smith, historian of modern France at Queen Mary University of London.
