France election: Newly-elected left-wing alliance MPs at 1st parliament, need to decide new PM

French socialist parliamentarians, part of the left-wing bloc that came first in Sunday's legislative election, entered the National Assembly on Tuesday.

The lawmakers, including former president Francois Hollande and the party's head, Olivier Faure, vowed to go beyond disagreements with their other left-wing allies, to name a prime minister and successfully govern.

"Either we succeed and in this case we may have pushed back the threat of the far right for a long time, or we fail and then we take the risk of... seeing them... reach an absolute majority," Faure said.

The unexpected outcome of the snap election has plunged France into uncertainty just before the Paris Olympics, with no obvious path to a stable government capable of getting any legislation passed by a fragmented parliament.
