French President Macron meets ex-PM Cazeneuve ahead of new PM appointment amid reform and budget pressures.

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to meet with former Socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve on Monday as he approaches the appointment of a new prime minister. Cazeneuve, respected by both right- and left-wing parties, is a leading candidate following a political deadlock after June's snap election, which resulted in a hung parliament. The new prime minister will need to address reforms and the 2025 budget amid pressures for deficit reduction.
