"This is now essentially a Macron-Le Pen government," said Mr Mélenchon, referring to the leader of the far-right National Rally (RN).

How is Barnier representing Le Pen here?

I mean, if he said it was a Macron-Macron government or something, that at least I could understand.

Macron's Ensemble Coalition plus Barnier's Les Républicains don't have a majority in the National Assembly. By choosing a prime minister from a right wing party one could argue that Macron hopes for the support from Le Pen's far-right Rassemblement National with which he officially doesn't want to cooperate, otherwise there could soon be a vote of no confidence and back to square one.

Can the PM survive with support from the NFP?

The parties in the NFP already said that they'll initiate a motion of no confidence for Barnier.
