Macron Holds Talks with Opposition

“Emmanuel Macron has met leaders of opposition groups including the far right’s Marine Le Pen to sound out his chances of negotiating a parliamentary majority,” The Guardian reports.

“The French president, whose centre-right alliance fell 44 seats short of controlling the Assemblée Nationale, was said to be exploring his ‘room for manoeuvre’ after losing control of the lower house in Sunday’s legislative elections.”
