PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday called on mainstream parties to join forces to form a solid majority in the National Assembly, in his first public comments since Sunday's snap election delivered parliamentary gridlock.
The vote, which Macron unexpectedly called after losing to the far-right National Rally (RN) in June's European elections, has plunged France into uncharted waters, with three politically divergent blocs and no obvious path to forming a government.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
