Nah. Current situation at the assembly is chaotic. Macron is just looking for the coalition that would bring the most stabilibity, and NPF is not it. They would be taken down within a week with 99% certainty.

Nah. They won an election and they should be given a chance to form a coalition. Not even giving someone to form a government even after they win an election is the literal definition of coup.

It's a bit technical here, but here's the thing: Macron is not at stake here, so he's not doing a coup. His government resigned, and it was accepted. For now, they're remaining in place until a new government is formed because there cannot be no government. So they're not doing a coup either, they officially resigned. The NPF didn't win the election per say. Winning the election for the assembly in France means having an absolute majority at the assembly. They are VERY far from it. It's like if you had 9 parties who had 100 seats each and one that had 101 seat and you said they won the election. Sure, they have more seats than other individual parties, but they're not in position to form a government and govern. Proof is, there's no law that force the president to nominate someone from a side that doesn't have an absolute majority.
