00:00With every day that passes, President Emmanuel Macron's indecision is becoming less and less

00:06tolerable for many French citizens.

00:09They want him to appoint a new Prime Minister.

00:13It feels insecure knowing that the people, the government, who are supposed to be looking

00:17after France aren't there.

00:21It's been over 47 days.

00:23I find it a bit unacceptable.

00:25I think there needs to be some kind of compromise.

00:27But whatever compromises are made will likely face scrutiny.

00:30Policies on issues such as the repeal of the pension reform, taxes, energy prices and immigration

00:36remain divisive between parties.

00:38Regardless, many still expect Macron to listen to voters' election concerns.

00:45The environment, for example, which I find is under-reported, is a matter of extreme

00:49urgency.

00:50A large part of the country feels abandoned.

00:57We need doctors.

00:59We need to be able to live better.

01:04These are concerns that the future head of government will have to tackle head-on.

01:08Otherwise the French population could face more instability.
