Macron meets with former presidents, top politicians as search for PM narrows

French President Emmanuel Macron met with former prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve on Monday amid growing pressure to find a new prime minister following the July 7 polls. The president also met with Xavier Bertrand, a leading figure of the centre right, as well as former presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande. France has been run by a caretaker government since the July 7 snap legislative elections produced a hung parliament between a left-wing alliance, Macron's centrists and the far right.
