Embattled French President Emmanuel Macron says that he hoped to appoint a new prime minister in the next few days, in a fiery televised address on Thursday.
Macron spoke one day after PM Michel Barnier was ousted by lawmakers in a no-confidence vote.

However, there is little evidence that the new era will be any smoother for Macron than the last. Whoever he chooses as prime minister must be approved by a divided parliament, where he faces opposition from both sides.
Macron is halfway through his final term as president, but the results of the snap election he called in June have severely complicated the final stages of his time in power and lessened his authority at home and abroad.
Additionally, a further snap election is not possible since the current parliament is required to sit until June, one year after the last vote.
