Marine Le Pen, the French far-right leader, has publicly urged President Emmanuel Macron to hold a referendum on pressing issues including immigration, healthcare, and security. This move comes as a proposed solution to the ongoing political deadlock that France is experiencing. Le Pen's call for a direct vote by the French people highlights a strategic push to involve citizens more directly in decision-making processes. The suggestion follows the appointment of Michel Barnier, a center-right figure, as Prime Minister by Macron in an attempt to navigate through the challenges posed by a hung parliament resulting from recent snap elections.
