Faure Chosen French President After Assembly Deadlock
The French National Assembly elected Felix Faure as president after Casimir-Perier’s sudden resignation. Faure won 216 on the first ballot against Brisson and Waldeck-Rousseau, then secured a majority after Waldeck-Rousseau withdrew. Faure, 54, has long public service, and his leadership may steady France or spark further factional balance. The outcome ends fears of an Assembly deadlock and potential constitutional crisis, though future policy hinges on Faure’s conciliatory ability.
