Paris, June 19,

Most French political leaders tonight forecast difficult inter-party negotiations before France's new government can be formed.

The new government, arising from Sunday's elections, will replace the Coalition of Dr Henri Queuille shortly after the National Assembly meets on July 5. Its strength and nature may well depend on the country's new political giant, the party of General Charles de Gaulle.
