France contemplates chaos after the general election with no clear winner and the Olympics just weeks away

The new national assembly meets this week, but what will happen if the three almost equal political blocs cannot agree on a prime minister?

One week after a snap general election that nobody won, and two weeks before it welcomes the world for the Olympic Games, France is still without a new prime minister or government and in political chaos.

As the French celebrate Bastille Day, the national 14 July holiday, the squabbling and stalemate between the three groupings that took the most seats but failed to secure a parliamentary majority continued with warnings that it could be two months before a solution is found.
