French President Macron seeks allies after the general election disrupts the election.

France's lower parliament is set to reopen Tuesday after the stalled election of President Emmanuel Macron, whose center ally is slightly closer to forming a stable majority, potentially jeopardizing Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne's job.

After a vote this month led to a jump from the right and left, opposition forces have indicated they will not be included in a permanent deal to support Macron's government, which has a 37-seat majority.

Bourne and other senior Macron supporters are trying to lure far-right and moderate left-wing lawmakers into increasing their ranks, with one lawmaker telling AFP, "the phone is hot".

But Olivier Marley, the leader of the conservative Republican group seen as the best fit for Macron, said: "We have much better things to do today than sell little by little." But he added that his lawmakers were "doing everything possible to reach an agreement with the government" on upcoming legislation to increase household purchasing power in the face of food and energy inflation.

"It's not in the interests of the recently elected parties to make long-term deals to support the government," said Marc Lazar, a professor at the Paris Institute of Political Studies.

THE FIRST WOMAN TO SPEAK

The first days of the new National Assembly will be marked by the election of the PresidentPresident and senior parliamentary officials, and committee chairs.

Macron's nominee Yael Brown-Pivot is expected to become the first woman in French history to run for PresidentPresident in a series of ballots on Tuesday.

On the same day, parties with as few as 15 members can form official groups with more influence and talk time.

One of the critical questions is whether Thursday's vote to lead the Finance Committee - with its vast powers to scrutinize government spending - will be won by far-right National Rally (RN) lawmakers.
